Spurs moved within 2 points from the Villains with a game in hand.

Tottenham won against Aston Villa 4-0 at Villa Park and the North London side is only 2 points behind the Villains with match in hand.

In the 1st half, we didn’t see great football, as the 1st 45 minutes of the match in Birmingham finished without a shot on goal from either side.

However, at the beginning of the 2nd half, Pape Matar Sarr provided a fantastic pass to James Maddison and with an empty net in front of him Maddison scored to give the lead to Spurs in the 50th minute. VAR checked the goal for an offside but the goal stand.

In the 54th minute, Tottenham doubled its lead when captain Heung-Min Son sent a pass to Brennan Johnson, who netted for 2-0.

John McGinn left Aston Villa with 10 men on the pitch in the 65th minute when he received a direct red card for clattering a Spurs player, and that’s the moment when it became clear that Tottenham would return to London with 3 points from Villa Park.

Heung-Min Son made it 3-0 in the extra time after Dejan Kulusevski’s assist. Timo Werner netted for 4-0 in the 94th minute.

Aston Villa are in 4th place with 55 points after 28 matches as Spurs ended the Villains’ 3rd straight victory series in the league.

Tottenham are in 5th place with 53 after 27 games as that was Spurs 3rd win in the past 4 matches in Premier League and they are only 2 points behind 4th place.
