Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert felt his side deserved to take all three points at Everton following Saturday's 3-3 draw at Goodison Park.

Villa held a 3-1 lead going into the final stages thanks to a Christian Benteke double and a headed effort from Gabriel Agbonlahor, with Victor Anichebe on target for the hosts.

However, Marouane Fellaini grabbed two late goals for Everton, with his equaliser coming after three minutes of injury time, to deny Villa maximum points.

Lambert felt his side did enough to secure the win and was pleased with the performance, but admits he is disappointed Everton managed to take a share of the spoils.

"I thought we deserved to win the game," said Lambert after the game.

"You are never going to get an easy game here but it is disappointing to only get a point. It is a really tough place to come and three points would have been great but I thought we played ever so well.

"I can't fault the way the lads played and there are not many teams that come up here and beat them. David (Moyes, Everton boss) has a really good side but if we continue to play like that hopefully we will start to get results."

Villa have managed just three points from their last eight Premier League games and are now 19th in the league table, three points adrift of safety.
