Aston Villa entertained Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park earlier today as they looked to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Villans made a solid start to the game and managed to get to the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Unai Emery’s men conceded the opening goal in the 50th minute when James Maddison found the back of the net. Brennan Johnson doubled Tottenham’s advantage just three minutes later before John McGinn was sent off by the referee in the 65th minute. Heung-min Son killed the game off in injury-time before Timo Werner added another goal before the final whistle. The contest ended with Aston Villa suffering a poor 4-0 loss in front of their home fans.
