Never in doubt. 8 unbeaten, 5 wins in a row. May as well hand us the title now.
-
Emi, what a man!!!!!!
-
For a team that went through a period of soundly spanking us, we're turning into a bit of a bogey team for Spurs.
-
I apologise for not putting on my lucky top since before 10 mins in today.
-
The good ship Villa has been turned around and steaming full speed ahead.
-
woooo!
2 outstanding goals
-
some great performances in that second half.
Have some of that Spurs
-
0 draws in the last 24 meetings between us.
-
Bostin'. That is all.
-
Fucking hell…..my heart is literally pounding behind my eyes !!!!!!!!
Get the fuck in
-
Brilliant win...I didn't fancy us today. Well done the lads.
-
FUCKING HELL - that's a proper satisfying win. Amazing goals.
-
Better team won. Good performance and result.
-
Great win, great battle and it's really nice to win one of those, Matty Cash, Lucas Digne and Emi Buendía going full Brazil 1970 is one of my favourite recent Villa memories.
-
Digne's two touches for the 2nd goal are superb
-
Best result of the season.
You can't dodge the Rodge.
You can't spear Buendia.
Five wins in a row.
Fuckers fucked.
Unai is so good.
-
That’s two top class goals. Brilliant team performance.
-
Niiiiiice!
-
Superb win and two great goals, I thought we controlled most of the match and Cash had a very good game.
-
I didn’t enjoy the first half selection but Unai’s tactics absolutely spot on today!
-
Top half, let’s roll.
-
Lovely stuff.
Is Pau being back and on form the key difference?
-
Or should I say…. AND ANOTHER OOONNNNEEEEEE FUCK OFF YOU SPURS
-
Wonderful, wonderful and a corking goal to win it!
-
Digne's two touches for the 2nd goal are superb
The whole goal was superb tbh stemming from Cash's pass.
-
Classy. Pau my Motm
-
Goal of the month from Buendia. Great result, and a gritty performance. Cash plays a forward pass and look what happens!
-
Roy Keane says that Matty's pass was "pass of the season". Always liked him.
-
Enjoyed that 2nd half. The subs changed the game. Buendia sensational. I knew that 2nd was going in the minute he got the ball.
-
Now Unai knows what he has to work with guess what?
-
For a team that went through a period of soundly spanking us, we're turning into a bit of a bogey team for Spurs.
That's the fifth time Emery has beaten them with us, three of them at their place.
-
Getting better.
-
Might be one of the best goals I’ve ever seen. Cash with De Bruyne shit, Digne controlling the ball like Messi and Buendia finishing like R9.
If I saw it on FIFA I’d be saying, “as if goals like that are ever scored in real life”.
Brilliant away performance.
-
Great result.
Still think we can go up a few gears n'all.
-

Scholes - esque.
-
I love it when we beat these entitled wankers
-
Lucky pants work again 😃
Great win.
-
2 top class goals - erection section.
-
2 lovely goals but the pass, control and touch to Emi was just sublime and a beautiful finish
-
Get in Villa!!!!!
-
A classic Unai away tactical master class. Every player contributed...
-
We matched them and won duels - it makes all the difference
-
Great result, two top class goals. Little Emi is like a new signing.
-
Brilliant win. Sky off to Liverpool with unseemly haste yet again though. Wankers.
-

Well it is the most watched game in the world.🤮
-
Only 3 points off third now
-
Goal of the season scored today
-
Whisper it, but we’re looking winter 2023 vintage at the moment (and not just the results).
-
Unlucky because spurs would’ve got 2nd today with a win.
-
Unai continues to shove that whiteboard and counters up Franks arse, every single time.
-
Lucky pants work again 😃
Great win.
Can you keep then for the next few weeks please.
4pts off Man shitty in 2nd with them up at VP next.
And Thomas clipboard Wanker not beaten Unai..ever
-
Superb win Villa, 2 class goals, we saw the match out well, the only threat was from Danso's throw ins.
-
Great result, two top class goals. Little Emi is like a new signing.
He is showing the qualities we hoped we had bought from Norwich. I was convinced the season of his bad injury was the one we would see the best of him. Hopefully it’s this one.
-
fucking love Football , you keep booing Cash !
-
Yeah, that was an old style Emery away performance. Get to half time, turn the crowd, win the game. Felt we'd win when we got to half time level.
Barkley looked good when he came on too. He was doing that for a while before his injury and didn't get much credit for it. Squad's looking stronger. Still concerned about the right side of attack though.
The second goal is potential goal of the season.
-
Spuds appear to have spent an awful lot of money on dross. Shame.
-
What a fuckin’ result!
-

Where does it dock?!

Can sit back and enjoy watching yaniyed get battered now.

Agree on Barkley, great little cameo doing a lot of unseen work. I think the big difference between the teams was that our subs strengthed us, their were all a step down from the players they replaced, Richarlison and Bergvall in particular were utter dross.

Agree with this. Our bench today was about as strong as it's ever been.
-
Spurs are the new Stoke....
-
Just looking forward to Fleet Street's finest devoting most of their match reports focussing on Spud's deficiencies, rather than how well we played - as per usual.
-
I had a feeling for us today. Spurs have been over-hyped (same as it ever was), been pretty average at home, they had outscored their xG and were reliant on set-pieces.
We just needed to maintain our form since before the international break and Unai, working hard, with the lights likely still on til 2am at Bodymoor on midweek nights when his squad were spread across the world representing their nations, delivered another master-class.
Great result, especially going into the next two league games. And we shouldn't fear Man Citeh or Liverpool, they're not without their flaws too. Autumn 2025 = Autumn 2023 !

The Premier League's commentator was saying that Frank would be unhappy with a draw, let alone a loss, given Spurs' dominance. I mean, really?
-
Brilliant win, 2 great goals, Unai safe from the chop until the next international break.
-
We still need to create more, as great as it is we can't keep relying on a couple of outside the area crackers. Once we do that we'll be a hell of of a side.
-
Great result and just what we needed. Two real qualith goals and thought we kept Spurs under wraps pretty well.
Still think we gave the ball away far too often and cheaply at times and it's tantalising to think just what we could be capable of if we really click in the final third.
-
A quick look on their forum and a lot of them seem shocked they didn’t wipe the floor with us - like we haven’t finished above them in the league for the past 3 seasons.

Our high line worked well today. We kept catching them out with it.

After Yanited, their fanbase are probably the biggest shitebags in football.
-
Re cyclical fashion and long-throws being back in, is there any reason why the defending team don't just stick a player a yard or two in front of the touchline and put the thrower off?
Ted Danson was getting some joy with his launchpads today for Spuds but I think it's illegal to allow one team to towel-dry their balls while the away side has to be left with damp, smudgy balls.

-
The 30 or so mins we saw from Ollie today were the best of him.
He was superb.
-
Great subs today and good timing. Barkley done well, Maatsen odd wobble aside covered ground and Ollie and Buendia were excellent.
Kamara very good again
-
That's Ezri's happy face.

I've never seen a match report so obviously written at half time with in an attempt to get it filed as soon as possible after the match ended.

Made even more foolish with the screenshot of the stats at the end of it!

So Rogers goal was a goalkeeping error, and the second, a goal of the season contender, was only mentioned as it was unexpected. The Agony Aunt could have written a better football report than that.

The comments from some of the Spuds fans are a hoot though!
-
We defend so much better this season. We may not be quite flowing up front as we have done in recent seasons but the defence gives us the foundations now. Great goals, great win. I love beating Spurs
-
Roy Keane says that Matty's pass was "pass of the season". Always liked him.
I slagged Cash off for his poor delivery and three minutes later he does that.
Footballers: making me look like a total dick since 1989.
-
Watkins and Rogers both returning to form now.
Buendia is like a new signing.
Martinez looking settled (but with stronger competition to keep him on his toes now).
We are conceding fewer goals than at any time during Emerys reign. Pau looking strong, Cash and Digne getting the balance right between defending and getting forward. As for Konsa, you hardly notice him - utterly dependable and doing everything right, as he has done for a quite a while.
-
The Times fella got his copy filed just as quickly and was much more accurate. Behind a paywall so I won’t link y.
-
to be fair we should be going to spurs and beating them its only the old inferiority complex that thinks a point at the lane would be good. They have been shit for seasons. no madders, romero pulled out during the warm up and their new manager bounce is now on the wane. Still enjoyed the game and was delighted with the goals and the 3 points.
Emi made a big impact from the bench
-
Unlucky because spurs would’ve got 2nd today with a win.
I never knew that. Sad face.
Wait! That would've been a London top two for good measure. You'd think some would've mentioned it.
Really strange game for me. Thought we both massively rode our luck (if they'd had Kane or even Son...) and thoroughly deserved it.
Pau superb and Cash shoving the boos where they belong. Digne took a battering, so delighted he was able to do that before going off. I'm probably still a bit giddy, but that might be the best Villa goal I've been there for. I've been a very erratic attendee but still.
-
The Argentine cut in from the flank and beat compatriot Vicario to seal the points for Villa.
Quite apart from anything, isn't Vicario Italian?
-
My favourite bit is the claim that their football is exciting and energetic, when in truth it's wimbledon/stoke-esque long balls to run on to and an over-reliance on set pieces. The myth of the spurs 'way' is clearly still going strong.
-
Great goals, both of them.
Thought Pau, Konsa and Cash were excellent today, as was Kamara.
Rogers, aside from the goal not the best still. I thought Digne had an unusually poor game as well.
-
Yes, they seem a bit limited on that showing. Maybe it was a bad game for them.
-

Well they are famous for their spelling mistakes.

That’s a belting result, a really big one to come from behind. Terrific, well done.
-
Yes, they seem a bit limited on that showing. Maybe it was a bad game for them.
On the statistics (which I know isn't everything) today seems to be pretty 'on-brand' for how they've been playing all season. I'd never watch them in a game we're not playing in though so maybe I'm missing something.
-
The goal was three moments of absolute premium quality interwoven into the finest of silk.
When Digne laid the ball off to Buendia, I said to myself "please score", not because I wanted the lead, but because the preceding play DESERVED a goal.
-
Agreed. He looked more up for it and muscular in his running with the ball. Excellent cameo
-
A great goal,by Morgan Rogers, kept us in the game.
Second half we were much better especially when Emi and Ollie came on for Donyell and Guessand.
(Think I’d rather have Bailey than Guessand as he seems the weak link).
The Cash, Digne , Emi goal was superb, a joy to watch, and Matt has had a very good season so far.
Looks like Unai is now working his magic with his team again.
-
-

The report says Bentancur is Argentinian too and he isn't

Emi made a big impact from the bench
I've always felt like it's been a game over the years to measure where we are really. If we are in a decent place we tend to win there and when we're struggling we don't.
-
There’s nothing quite like stuffing it up Spurs when all the pre game talk is about them going 2nd with the win they were clearly going to get. Fuck you and your bias.
The goal we conceded was very avoidable if we showed a bit more positivity going forward with the ball. I get it’s part of our game plan early on to keep possession as much as possible but it invites pressure when we screw up as proved. Good games for everyone with Digne being my MOM for the pull down for Emi’s goal and his general game against their best player. He was also a soldier for the way he responded to some very heavy tackles. Rogers’s best game for us this season so far.
Apparently we agreed to the use of towels? What we didn’t agree to was those throws were foul ones. Feet over the line mostly.
-
Unlucky because spurs would’ve got 2nd today with a win.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned that.
Especially with Liverpool looking like they could drop points again today. I'm sure it's just a temporary setback in their first title challenge since 1961.
-
Two absolutely outstanding goals.
-
As anyone come on to state we only won because of all their injuries?

who was they missing? Ardiles and Ricky Villa?
-
...
(Think I’d rather have Bailey than Guessand as he seems the weak link).
...
Agree with all that, apart from this - only because Cash's improvement seems to correlate with Guessand playing. He does a ton more defensive work and means Cash doens't have to cover as much ground.
-
Guessard also presses better and has won some key balls in the final third of the pitch that we have capitalised on, like today.
-
Magnificent
Absolutely delighted. We were absolutely clincal today and that was difference. Spurs looked average to poor
We desperately needed that
-

We won 4-1 down there when they played.

-
Lovely win. It reminded me a bit of the 2-0 on new years day in Unais first season. Soak up the pressure for first 50 odd minutes, then pick them apart.
As Monty said earlier in the thread Brazilesque 2nd goal…though I’d go for the class of WC 82.
Thought Rogers and bizarrely Digne got kicked all over the park today…do we keep on booing Danso for the next 10 years?
Anyway watched the game on a phone, whilst standing in the pissing rain watching my lads team. They won a scrappy affair 3-2, with the final whistle going on both games at the same time. Home to dry off, a lovely lasagne and hot cup of tea..a good Sunday to be alive!!

Don't be too harsh on yourself. You were only a dick post-toddler years when Villa entered your life.

The lad who wanged on about the quality of pies in Preston after our cup win there ?
-
Guessard also presses better and has won some key balls in the final third of the pitch that we have capitalised on, like today.
Probably not the time to be picking faults after such a good result, but he is one of a few who just gives the ball.away too easily and too often when we are going forward. Can't knock his work-rate and the defensive side of his game though.

Im assuming Unai picks him because of the latter and probably thinks the rest will come later
-
Guessand would make a top defensive wing back
His work rate and defensive work are very impressive
-
Guessand on the right hand side makes Cash a better player
-
Guessand on the right hand side makes Cash a better player
No coincidence Cash has improved massively this year. We may be a little more conservative on that side without Bailey, but far more balanced.
-
We defended well, winning header after header in our own box. Onana, Konsa were particularly good, as was Torres with the ball at his feet. Lovely pass from Cash and brillianr from both Digne and Buendia for the winner. I honestly fancies us today as I don't think Tottenham are that good a side. Great win, feels good.

That classic game was the one which demonstrated Cowans' emerging class: he totally outshone the 2 Argentinian world cup winners.
-

Similar with Telegraph but it’s Matt Law so it should be fairer on us!
-
Great result for the lads, man of the match every one of them, no exceptions, best man of the match Unai for me, he absolutely had them bang on, very important this game but even more so for us to win it, onward's and upwards we go.
-
Guessand on the right hand side makes Cash a better player
Got that right, Guessand and his ability to tackle back is giving Cash time to defend, the right looks really solid.
-
Didn’t fancy us at all but a great result. Thought we played pretty well all game but we’re still lacking a little bit of composure around the box. 2 outstanding goals. The role of sub really suits Beundia - his energy and craft really help and the shorter bursts seem to help him.
Thought our second half performance was excellent - and our game management once we took the lead.
Well done everyone - good performances in every position
-
Guessand on the right hand side makes Cash a better player
Got that right, Guessand and his ability to tackle back is giving Cash time to defend, the right looks really solid.
Noticed he made one particular shoulder to shoulder challenge today that he won easily and remarkably. Took that as a sign of acclimatisation to the PL.
-
Onana, Konsa were particularly good, as was Torres with the ball at his feet.
The ability of Torres to get accurate, well weighted passes into the front 3 or 4 was again on show today.
He’d make a good midfielder. It suddenly struck me that he reminds me of Stuart Gray (gait, demeanor, left-sidedness…ummm, hair).
-
The perfect opponent for Unai: good enough to make him get his thinking cap on, nowhere near good enough to out-think him.
-
What a great win and a great away day.
-
Brilliant result
After their goal in 5 mins and the 2nd disallowed goal, my sentiments were the same as those on the match thread.
come the moment, come Rogers.
Second half, they huffed and puffed for 10 mins, then the Goal of the season. Three perfect moves, Cash , Digane, Emi.
After that they huffed and puffed again.
Great game management, call out for Ollie and Barkley for their cameos
Beat city next week and we are back on track
What a pity Slaphead Slots team lost again !
Pity it was at the hands of Newton Heath, but I guess you can not have everything in life.
The Heathans lost at home, so all in all a good weekend
-
Fantastic away performance. Hung in after going a goal down and worked our way back into the game. Our two goals were both fantastic. The second one in particular was one of our best goals in a number of seasons in terms of the skills shown. Onana grew into the game after a slow start. Everyone did their bit. Looking like we did a couple of years ago. Great stuff.
-

I’m guilty of that too. I made a comment to Chico who was next to me about Roger’s and he’d scored within 5 seconds. Very happy to maintain this pattern!
-
We still need to create more, as great as it is we can't keep relying on a couple of outside the area crackers. Once we do that we'll be a hell of of a side.
Agree on that point. We still haven’t found that gear yet, but hopefully it comes with more confidence.

Oh 100% and the general intensity and quality of play is so much better. It’s just clicking into gear a bit more going forward and giving us some easy wins will be helpful.
-
That pass from Matty Cash, wow! Brilliant from Digne too. Overall, I honestly think we deserved the win.
-
I fucking love beating Spurs.
Twats.

Two superb goals and three marvelous points.

To think that their fans and media were praising the “transformational” magician Frank and their gold standard signings and a PSR repressed Emery turns up gives them a goal start and smacks them 2-1 without much bother in front of their ultra passionate fans must be very galling for their luvies.

How did Onana go today? Didn't see game

Okay first, better second half, tired towards the end, from what I could glean on the match threads.

Spent this afternoon babysitting. Resisted shouting what I wanted to, but WTF, glorious result.

Disappointed first half,physically think we were getting getting beaten by Spurs, second half much better with the players getting stuck in,

Seeing the goal, it is so funny Vicario trying to claim for Rogers being offside when he didn't even see him until he had watched the ball bounce into the corner, then trying to make out Rogers was in his way.

The perfect opponent for Unai: good enough to make him get his thinking cap on, nowhere near good enough to out-think him.
Yeah but would probably school him at having sex on ski slopes.

Another (pitchside) angle for Emi's goal. https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1980016101602755002
Struggling to sort the gold, silver and bronze rankings for:
A) Matty Cash's 70 yard drilled half volley pass
B).Lucas Digne plucking the ball out of the air at almost head height and then flicking it back almost in one movement
C) Emi Buendia cutting inside and tucking one away in the far corner from outside the area with his weaker foot

Good team performance. Every player played their part . I suspect a statement week is coming up. Onwards and upwards !!!

BAC for me. I'm adding that goal to the wank bank.

Spent this afternoon babysitting. Resisted shouting what I wanted to, but WTF, glorious result.

We are slowly gaining momentum, the bench played its part today and good to see players coming back. My only concern is without Mings we seem vulnerable from corners or any high ball into the box. The new players didn't get minutes, looking forward to see how Emery handles Sancho, if he can get this lads head in the right place we might have a good player.

For me it’s the 2nd Digne touch - less eye catching but the awareness to pop it directly back into Buendia’s path. 👨🍳😘

Anyway watched the game on a phone, whilst standing in the pissing rain watching my lads team. They won a scrappy affair 3-2, with the final whistle going on both games at the same time. Home to dry off, a lovely lasagne and hot cup of tea..a good Sunday to be alive!!
Haha, me too! My boy’s team won 4-1 in a 2.30 kick off. I was watching on my phone but I felt a bit neglectful so switched to listening on 5Live instead. In the time it took to go from watching to listening, Buendia got our winner.
Lamb kebab, rice and peppers for dinner, and a hot cup of tea. Lovely!
