"Firstly, our supporters were here, and they were helping. Of course, we were playing for them. The way the players responded, even when we were losing 1-0. This is the way we are trying to get better at, and try to build the team with this structure. We are recovering some players. The dressing room is different now. Substitutes are very important. Now, we need to recover some injured players. Hopefully, players will come back and will try and help us with their qualities."
"It feels amazing to come here, it's such a difficult place to play and a really difficult opponent. The team showed character to come back and get a win. I was preparing myself to run back for the counter-attack. But I could help the team with the goal. It is really important for confidence and to help the team."
Aston Villa fell behind to Rodrigo Bentancur's deflected strike after five minutes at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Morgan Rogers levelled with a stunning 20-yard effort, and Emiliano Buendia scored the winner from distance in the 77th minute. Buendia's goal was his third in four games. The comeback extended Villa's winning streak to five matches across all competitions and moved the club into the Premier League's top half. Buendia and Ollie Watkins were available on the bench, while Youri Tielemans and Tyrone Mings remained sidelined. The dressing room mood has shifted, substitutes have become influential, and injured players are being reintegrated.
