Summary of Tottenham's 0:4 away win over Aston Villa/Sport1
Even before the top game between Liverpool and Manchester City, a direct battle was held today (Sunday) for the fourth place in the Premier League in which Tottenham defeated Aston Villa 4:0 away.
Aston Villa - Tottenham 4:0
Third league loss in the last four home games for Unai Emery's team, which continues to lose ground and this time with a painful defeat against a direct rival for the fight for fourth place.
Tottenham won only one of their previous six away games, but at Villa Park they managed to recover the 0:4 from two years ago.
After a first half without any threats to the frame, Pap Matar Sar sent a cross from the right in the 50th minute and James Maddison continued from the air into the net and celebrated his first goal since October.
Three minutes later, Azeri Konsa lost a ball and Tottenham were punished with a cross from captain Jung Min Son to Welshman Brennan Johnson.
Things heated up in the 65th minute with an ugly foul by John McGinn on Destiny Udoji.
The Tottenham bench and players pounced on the Scot who saw a straight red.
Another double came in extra time: first Son shot into the high net his 14th of the season in the league after a set up from the right by Diane Kolosevski, and in the 95th minute the captain set up substitute Timo Werner who scored a second round in a row.
The gap between the two has shrunk to just two points and Tottenham still lacks a game.
Manor Solomon will return to continue the fight for the ticket to the Champions League.
