"Playing with [the] eleven players we have in the squad, [or] choosing another eleven, we could have lost the match we lost with different players. We didn't deserve more. Tottenham played a very good match and scored two quick goals, then dominated the first half more than we planned."
"We reacted in the second half, we were pushing more, we were playing better than the first half. We tried to react, scoring one goal, but we only achieved this at the end of the match. We must accept this defeat."
"Villa did not register a shot on target until Buendia's 96th-minute header, while they have lost three consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since November 2024."
"Only Burnley (13) and West Ham (10) have conceded more goals in the first 15 minutes of Premier League games this season than Aston Villa (eight), with Gallagher's opener scored in the 12th minute."
Unai Emery made seven changes to Aston Villa's lineup for the match against Tottenham, resulting in a 2-1 defeat. Goals from Conor Gallagher and Richarlison put Villa at a disadvantage early on. Emiliano Buendia scored a late consolation goal. Emery stated that the team did not deserve more from the match, acknowledging Tottenham's strong performance. Villa has now lost three consecutive games and has struggled defensively, particularly in the first 15 minutes of matches. Despite the loss, Villa remains in fifth place, aiming for Champions League qualification.
