"Emi Buendia and Morgan Rogers scored first-half goals as Aston Villa ensured their name was in the hat for the FA Cup Fourth Round draw with a 2-1 win over Tottenham in London. After boos rang out from sections of the home fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the first 45, a much-improved Spurs team launched a valiant comeback, reducing the deficit through Wilson Odobert."
"The visitors were looking to continue their scintillating recent form, and they were on their way to doing that after 22 minutes when a sweeping Villa move ended with Buendia lashing a fierce shot into the roof of the net to give them the lead. Spurs, wearing an all-white shirt to mark the 125th anniversary of their historic 1901 FA Cup-winning team, were then dealt a further blow when top scorer Richarlison hobbled off with a hamstring injury shortly before the half-hour mark."
Aston Villa won 2-1 at Tottenham to reach the FA Cup Fourth Round, with Emi Buendia and Morgan Rogers scoring in the first half.

Villa had another strong chance cleared off the line by Pedro Porro, and Spurs had goals ruled out for offside, leaving pressure mounting on manager Thomas Frank.
