The inside track on the football stories that matter
James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Heung-min Son and Timo Werner all bagged in the second half to sink the Villans in a huge boost in their chase for a top-four finish.
He put his body on the line to keep the clean sheet and took an collision to the head from Matty Cash late in the second half.Udogie’s strengths lie in his attacking ability and desire to bring the ball up the field, but he was occasionally left wanting defensively against Villa. His 98 per cent pass accuracy was vital for Spurs springing their attacks, but fans will be anxious after he was hauled off early in the second half with an injury for January signing Radu Dragusin.Romero dealt with Villa’s high press exceptionally and put in numerous quality tackles to snuff out the looming pressure.
Postecoglou likely did not want to risk him being sent off after he picked up a yellow card in the 19th minute, but he was outshined by his midfield couterparts. Nowhere near his usual level this season.While Bissouma did not impact the game in as obvious a way as his attacking teammates, his quality in possession and passing ability was crucial.
He often dropped deeper than normal and played exceptional line-breaking passes into Tottenham’s speedy wide attackers which proved crucial for Spurs securing the three points.Don’t be fooled by the scoreline. It was a shock that Postecoglou opted to keep Kulusevski on the field for the full game given that he was absolutely miles off his normal level.
