The Republic of Ireland international played an important part in stifling Tony Pulis' side at the Britannia Stadium, as the visitors picked up another point away from home.Richard Dunne thinks Aston Villa can be proud of their goalless draw against Stoke City on Monday night.Both sides struggled to create genuine chances, with Stoke boss Tony Pulis praising Dunne and his central defensive partner James Collins.Meanwhile, Dunne was pleased with the way his side tightened up at the back after conceding soft goals to corners in recent games."I think we can be proud of ourselves, we worked really hard," Dunne told Sky Sports."We were happy with a point, it's a very difficult place to come."It's been disappointing to concede a lot at set plays [this season]."Stiliyan Petrov was also keen to credit Gabriel Agbonlahor for his part in the clean sheet at the Brtiannia Stadium, after the striker cleared Marc Wilson's second half header off the line."I've been saying a lot about Gabby, this season he has been improving his game," he said. "He is working very hard for the team."It is a very difficult place to come to. We battled really well today, we battled as a team."
