It's 4-1 now. Shambolic performance from Villa in the second half. Their mentality was fully destroyed after Tottenham's first goal. They're worsening as their RB gets exploited by Tottenham.
Their players made too many mistakes. They made too many touches, dribbled slowly, and did not pass the ball right away. Also, starting four midfielders made their build-up so slow. It's obvious their strategy 4-4-2 is not working in modern football.
Since Aston Villa has been a tough opponent for any team this season; I immediately think that Tottenham Spurs has lost another home game before their incredible comeback. Johnson gave Tottenham an equalizer in the 49th minute of the game. As soon as the Tottenham players equalized, Aston Villa performance declined, and they lost the game conceding three more goals. Aston Villa suffered their second loss of the season and dropped back to sixth place in the league.
The last match of the EPL round 10 remains today - Fulham vs Brentford... Both clubs are close to the middle of the standings and probably play the same way... Fulham have no wins in the last three matches, although they played well against Villa and Man City... Brentford have played away against top clubs and have lost all the time, but have also scored... I don't know who will win today, but I will bet on a Fulham win with good odds of 2.1...
This season, Brentford has suffered more defeats than Fulham, although the two teams are only separated by one point. However, since both sides need the points to improve their league position, it might be too dangerous to bet on Fulham to win. There is a chance that today match would result in a draw because Brentford had a strong striker who had scored eight Premier League goals in nine matches this season, Fulham had won just two of their home games, while Brentford had lost all of their last away games.
