It looked like Spurs' victory was inevitable, especially in the 65th minute, one of Aston Villa's players received a red card. Maddison, Johnson, and Son Heung Min were the goal scorers for Spurs in this match and especially for Maddison, he was finally able to score again. No one expected Spurs to embarrass Aston Villa at home and Unai Emery seemed quite disappointed with his team's performance.
The match is just waiting for the referee's long whistle and this result will make Spurs threaten Aston Villa's position in the top 4 again and at the same time cut the difference to 2 points. Sometimes seeing Aston Villa being so consistent this season doesn't always give them the upper hand, but seeing as their opponent is Spurs, of course the result of defeat is not that surprising either. Aston Villa's winning trend had to stop in this match and Spurs had just regained victory after previously losing to Wolves.
This match was truly a nightmare for Aston Villa. As I said before, if Aston Villa prefers to defend and only rely on counter attacks, then that will provide many opportunities for Tottenham to find ways to score goals. Aston Villa should have taken the initiative to play attacking football because they are playing at home. Maybe it won't be easy, but, this will at least mean that Tottenham will not have too much space to build attacks.
The difference in points between Aston Villa and Tottenham is currently only 2 points, which means that if Tottenham can win their postponed match, then Tottenham will take 4th place from Aston Villa.
Tottenham was a standard one today, as the gave Aston Villa a whoopy 4 nil. Even without the red card, Tottenham were already leading with two goals, and the worst happened to Aston Villa when John McGinn was given a red card due to the hard tackle on Iyenoma Udogie, which led to the referee sending him out of the game. When Aston Villa was playing with complete players, they were losing, how much more of one man down. Even if they didn't play a defensive game, and they attacked, it will be impossible for them to equalize the two goals. They must still be defeated by Tottenham.
Heung-min played impressively today, he made two assist, and scored the third goal on the extra time to the end of the match. Two goals was scored with four minutes in the injury time to give Tottenham four goals in the second half. A clean sheet for the visitors as they devoured their host. It is possible that Tottenham would be sitting on the 4th position, if they win their outstanding match. Aston Villa was unable to maintain the fourth position.
