1 down. Nakamba poor control.

sc86

Clear peno

sc86

Not gave , another farce , he took him clean out

pavb2

Well done Marvellous

LeBash

Just home and turned it on, don't know who even crossed the ball, just seen it coming off the boot of the defender

It was a marvelous cross.

Corholio

Nakamba with assists for both goals.

pavb2

Well done Ollie he had a lot to do to score that

LeBash

Watkins is absolutely brilliant, chased his own flick on there.

Patser

Ollie!!

Made it look routine. Did very well.

sc86

We are a diff team with grealish , even all our other players look so much better when he plays

pavb2

AEG is so frustrating at times should have been 3

JPA

Good first half.
But Spurs are shocking here.

basillarkin

Great work rate from BT for Watkins goal. Should be more ahead

Yes we look assured and very comfortable but I think that’s because Kane Son & Ali can’t get in the game.

I would like to see Traore get on the ball a bit more.

LeBash

We could have had 3 in that half plus Traore had 2 good half chances.

Didn't see the peno claim. A bit robbed?

Patser

Wasting chances though, be so much nicer to have 2 goal lead.

Kane really is 'cute' - he grabbed Mings arm to his chest and threw himself to the ground, when he was nowhere near getting that ball. Ref is strange letting a lot go regard niggly tackles but then buying the occasional dive

I hope we don't regret those missed chances.

Blatant penalty not given for you lot.

In the times of Peter Withe etc you’d be embarrassed to get a penalty for that but nowadays by comparison to other decisions . . . stonewall penalty

CucaFace

Playing Jack in the center more is a must going forward (Fair play to Smith for changing something up for a change).

I think we actually lost our momentum when he reverted back to the left wing after the Man Utd game away when we played some great stuff that night.

Should be up by more.

pavb2

Just saw the replay of Reguilon ‘S OG that was a great finish

circadian

Gonna stick on the second half, don't blame me if we lose.

The ball was gone so did he deny a goal scoring opportunity?
Or is it just a case of foul in the box = pen?

Patser

Jesus El Ghazi, great run, so much space, sooooooo long to shoot

Patser

And Martinez a hero again, unreal

edit: and again.


No one bothering to defend in this game

pavb2

Martinez brilliant we need a third goal

Patser

Lads are playing like we're 7-1 up in an exhibition match.

Some trick by McGinn though

JPA

If we don't win this...

LeBash

Traore 3 chances now where hes just taken an extra touch.

Patser

Jesus Christ lads!!! Stop messing!!!

Traore dancing into box again and again, afraid to shoot.

I know it was offside in the end, but Watkins 1 v 1 decides to go full Brazil trick mode (and fails)

pavb2

As much as he’s very skilful there’s Just no end product with Traore

Esse85

Ollies finishing is so poor. Him and Traore are so sloppy with taking chances.

rebelomar

Christ there's a chance. Traore and Watkins have to finish

Patser

We've had about 10 great chances this half and haven't tested LLoris once due to messing.

Sours have had 3, and Martinez had to pull off a great save each time

Patser

Chukmuemeka debut

LeBash

I think that's a bad call. Nakamba has broken up so much play today. AEG or Traore would have been safer imho

rebelomar

Traore .....come on man

Patser

Mings has been outstanding today

Patser

Another debut - he looks 12

edit: Philogene-Bidace

Esse85

That's a really good 3 points.

rebelomar

Young lads did very well. Well done. Great result.

We should have scored 3 or 4.

Great to see Grealish back.

Patser

Villa wil make a fortune if these guys make it, through letter sales on named jersies.

Chukwuemeka just hit post too

listermint

Solid enough. Disappointing finishes made spurs look beyond ordinary.

Patser

Good result.

But real end of season kick about feel. Sours actually had something to play for, but somehow were even more casual than our guys. Traore could have had 6

pavb2

Don’t think any of our players had a bad game but we should have taken more of our chances

Great to see us playing in their half that last 5 minutes, a nerve wracking end but one of our most enjoyable wins particularly when we don’t usually do well against Spurs.

JPA

Great result and performance. Was like early season Villa. There was energy that has been missing lately. Could have scored 5 at least.

20 shots, only 4 on target though.

Was it the Grealish effect?
Or maybe the Nakamba affect?

CucaFace

Played very well. McGinn was great tonight and the defense looked very solid.

Both youngsters did really well when they came on with very little time.

If we can make sure we have proper upgrades on both Traore and AEG for next season the improvement in our side will be huge just from that alone as both are miles away from being good enough to push us on from here.

Panrich

Chukwuemeka could save us a lot of money. He looks like he is a special talent.
