Villa 2 Tottenham 1 post-match thread

[BC Villain]

Brilliant first half, bit of a drop in the second,  but more than deserved win.  Kane proved yet again what a dirty bastard he is, but will get away with it as usual.

A great result, that I would have snapped your hand off before kick-off, but given how dominant we were in the first-half I'm a little disappointed that after going 2-0 up we didn't get the goals needed to go ahead of them in the table. 

Unpopular opinion I know, but I actually thought it was a penalty.  He played for it, yes, but it was begrudgingly a nice piece of skill to make sure his touch chipped the ball over the diving goalie, knowing he will dive in front of him and allow him to make contact.  I'm just grateful he was heading away from goal so there was no extra card for Emi.

I agree. I'm still annoyed that Kane could have been just as second clinical with his second penalty against France.

[Bad English]

In spite of our lofty sense of fair play and justice, in the future we will need players that transcend the rulebook and get the decisions that give us the edge. We have one in Emi, had one in Young who is not the future, and we now need to add to that.

Phew. 
Kane looked offside for his pen. 

I thought that, he looked off to me.

Thoroughly deserved win, would have been a travesty if Spurs had got anything out of that, the score flatters them.

Did Son have a goal ruled out at the very end? My watch showed a notification - 2-2 SON. But then it disappeared.

The last time we doubled Spurs, Gina G was rep'ing the UK at the Eurovision with "Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit (Ooh Aah, Paul McGrath A Little Bit More)".

Co-written and produced by a distant cousin of mine. As claims to fame go it's on the shit side, but so were Spurs today, so, well, you know.

It says something about how far we've come under Emery that I'm disappointed we didn't keep a clean sheet 😊 UTV

I just can’t wait to see what Emery is able to do with serious investment. We have one or two legitimately top players, but really a lot of good ones that in a number of cases are overachieving. And all credit to all concerned. But to make the jump and remain consistently in the top 6 and aiming for top 4, we are 4/5 very high quality players away this summer and 1/2 each window thereafter.

No. It was not a goal. He was clearly offside and Villa players allowed him on run on and score for amusement.

One of those times where he's clearly offside but the linesman doesn't raise his flag so that it can go to a VAR check. He did score but it was never going to stand.

good - thanks, my stream had frozen so I shit myself when that notification came in.

Has Douglas Luiz scored from a free kick before?

Apparently not, although he has scored direct from a corner.

[olaftab]

I think a corner is technically a free kick.

[Baldy]

Fantastic first half but took the foot off the accelerator in the second.

Deserved win. McGinn man of the match.

Well done Unai & Co.

Followed the game on here and on sky. Got to admit when Tim Sherwood was our manager I quite liked the bloke, but I don’t think there has been a more biased pundit since Sky used to wheel out George Best for Man U games.
