Tottenham thrash 10-man Aston Villa to close gap in top-four race
Bye! Here’s a farewell gift, in the shape of Ben Fisher’s match report from Villa Park:
This week James Maddison enjoyed going head to head against his Tottenham teammate Micky van de Ven in a darts challenge with elite players Michael Smith and Nathan Aspinall and the Spurs No10 stepped up to the oche here to twist a cagey contest into their favour. By the end, however, Tottenham were able to revel in a comprehensive evisceration of 10-man Aston Villa.
When the fourth official, Darren Bond, indicated 10 minutes of second-half stoppage time, it spelled bad news for Villa, at that point 2-0 and a man down. Then Son Heung-min got in on the act, adding Spurs’ third in consummate style, and the substitute Timo Werner completed the rout, side-footing in.
Much more here:
Final score: Aston Villa 0-4 Tottenham
90+11 mins: It’s all over! A punishing defeat for Villa, a brilliant win for Spurs, and the fight for fourth is emphatically on!
