Goals from Frank Lampard mere puppet in the 13th minute capable of ensuring the Blues survived the results of the series while competing in Stamford Birdge Stadium, Saturday (01/14/2012) evening hrs.
"I think in the first half we were dominant in the control of the ball and create good opportunities," explained Villas-Boas on Sky Sports.
"I think it would be fairly evenly opportunities created within 90 minutes of the game for both teams. It is clear that when we came out attacking in the second half, Sunderland created many problems.
"We looked threatening on the counter-attack, because Sunderland have to attack to force a draw," he added.
After closing 2011 with a defeat (1-3 of Aston Villa at the Bridge), Juan Mata et al always win in three matches in 2012: two in the league, and one in the FA Cup. Villas-Boas hopes his team began to consistently again.
"This is an entertaining game for fans and three points are important in order to pursue the consistency we wanted to get in January," added the 34-year-old manager.
