"Aston Villa held on for a 2-1 win against a resurgent second-half comeback attempt from Tottenham to book their place in the FA Cup fourth round. Having been 2-0 down at the break, Spurs fought back in the second thanks to a Wilson Odobert goal, but they could not find the equaliser they needed to force extra time. Spurs made a bright start, with Odobert looping a long-range shot straight at Marco Bizot before Mathys Tel sliced a volley well wide of the far post."
"Spurs improved after the break, and Kolo Muani's driving run opened the space for Odobert to cut inside from the right and drill his low shot into the bottom-left corner. Pedro Porro then made a brilliant last-ditch block on the line to deny Buendia a second, while Simons had a 79th-minute equaliser disallowed after rounding the goalkeeper as he set off too early, with the defeat amplifying the pressure on Thomas Frank."
