"It was exactly the game I expected it to be, against two good teams, very tight. There weren't too many chances. I think overall it could've gone either way. I think 1-1 would've been a fair result. Villa scored two goals from outside the box in moments where you wouldn't expect them to score. Fair play for their moments of quality. We also easily could've won. There were two big teams on the pitch."
"We started very well. Villa produced two goals out of nothing and we had four or five moments where we couldn't produce. If you told me before the game that these players will be shooting from these positions I'd have said 'happy days'."
Spurs took an early lead when Rodrigo Bentancur latched on to a João Palhinha header to put Tottenham 1-0 up inside five minutes. Aston Villa recovered to record their fifth consecutive win, Morgan Rogers equalising with a dipping long-range strike and Emiliano Buendía curling a second-half winner after coming on as a substitute. Thomas Frank described the match as tight and balanced, praised Villa’s unexpected long-range quality, and said the result could have gone either way. Tottenham have now won just three of their last 18 home games and have lost twice in the Premier League under Frank.
