Fresh off knocking Manchester City out of the League Cup, Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur comes from behind to end Aston Villa's seven-match unbeaten run in the English Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou praised his team, which bounced back well from a disappointing defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend, also knocking Manchester City out of the League Cup in midweek.Two second-half goals from Dominic Solanke and a sublime James Maddison free kick helped Tottenham Hotspur to come from behind and overwhelm Aston Villa 4-1, ending the visitors' seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou's Spurs had struggled to break down Villa in the first half, largely resorting to shots from distance, but they upped their intensity in the second period and two quick goals from Solanke sealed the win. Spurs have bounced back well from a disappointing defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend, knocking Manchester City out of the League Cup in midweek, but Postecoglou was keen to stay grounded."I'm totally focused on the long game here."
Spurs skipper Son Heung-min provided an assist on his return from injury, whipping an excellent out-swinging ball across the goal for Johnson to slot home at the back post shortly after half-time. Maddison put the gloss on a fine display late on, caressing the ball around the Villa wall from 20 yards out and into the top corner past a helpless Martinez.
