He's made up for his earlier penalty error with a goal. He produced a brilliant piece of play in the 19th minute, taking on Alderweireld near the halfway line and advancing with speed into the Spurs area to put a chance on a plate for Douglas Luiz, but the Brazilian midfielder’s shot was blocked by Davies near the goalline. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. They are both coaches who excelled academically and, as demonstrated by that famous clip from the Manchester City game of them sprinting from the bench to the fourth official, there is also a shared sense of football’s injustices. Oooh! 93:34 - Son Heung-min's goal after 93 minutes and 34 seconds is Spurs' latest winning goal in the Premier League since August 2009, when Aaron Lennon netted after 94 minutes and 24 seconds against Birmingham.

Now 31, he is the latest of a coaching generation led by Mourinho who are students of the tactical periodisation model developed by the Portuguese professor Vitor Frade, whose ideas first took hold when the current Spurs manager studied coaching in Lisbon in the mid-1980s. He probably should have shot for himself. Alli blasts it but it's blocked in front of goal. MASSIVE WIN   #AVFC 2-3 #THFC   pic.twitter.com/oW6XicTQK8. He gets another chance from 15 yards out from the corner, though, and Reina saves that too. Bergwijn robs the flat-footed Drinkwater in his own half and runs with the ball straight towards goal and quickly. Villa were full of verve and vigour, and Jack Grealish was clearly in the mood. Anwar El Ghazi’s cross from the right took a deflection off Ben Davies and Alderweireld, under pressure from striker Mbwana Samatta, could only touch the ball over the line. "Joking apart I just think about going the best we can. pic.twitter.com/HA217nosuV. 49 goals past them this season. ...and then the penalty miss from Son, before the rebound is bundled in. Presented by @eToro.#AVLTOT #AVFC pic.twitter.com/wIwNLOcXIu. Still, keep it out of the goal and it's job done, isn't it? Then Dele Alli wastes a free - albeit difficult - header at the other end, sending it wide from about 12 yards out. He has taken too much time on the ball in dangerous positions a couple of times now and neither has led to a chance. Should have done better...should have pulled it back? VAR are checking it though...is that a penalty? They will certainly have the scent in their nostrils after this dramatic afternoon. Spurs had been struggling for fluency yet Alderweireld atoned for his earlier error by turning quickly in the area to smash the ball into the roof of the net, as Villa failed to clear from a corner. Spurs really struggling to get into this game now, Villa putting them under plenty of pressure. Engels made amends when he climbed above Alderweireld to head home Grealish's corner seven minutes after the restart, and the excellent Reina kept Villa on level terms with some crucial stops. Jack Grealish tormented Spurs down the left channel and had a couple of testers before teeing up Douglas Luiz who, despite a great block from Ben Davies, ought to have scored. Engels lazily tries to trap the ball and he fails at that. Well, Villa aren't going to go in 2-0 up. Out of almost nowhere, Spurs equalised in the 27th minute. Still, they sit sixth in the table, only four points away from fourth-placed Chelsea and their hopes of Champions League football next season remain alight, even if their overall form hasn't been brilliant. I mean, Son did score a goal but that was after he missed a penalty. Ahhh! Post was not sent - check your email addresses! “Wolves, Sheffield United, Manchester United, Arsenal, Everton - everyone looks to the table and says 'we can do it'. An incredible night of Premier League football saw Liverpool belted 7-2 and Manchester United hit for six as Jurgen Klopp’s team was destroyed by Aston Villa and Tottenham … Bergwijn picks up a loose ball on the edge of the box and fires low and powerfully but straight at Reina. A ball comes in high towards Son just in the Villa half. TOTTENHAM OWN GOAL ‍♂️Alderweireld puts through his own net under pressure from Samatta. The momentum of the game swung towards Spurs a minute before half-time. pic.twitter.com/H71zEO1w7d. "It's not about huge decisions or small decisions, it's about the rules, the law, it is or it isn't. Drinkwater off for Villa, Nakamba on. Reina had been furious at conceding the goal before half-time and then took centre-stage, producing fine saves from Bergwijn, Son and Dele Alli. Should have shifted it back to Dele Alli in the centre a lot sooner. Villa did not deserve to lose but these are the fine margins and they are just above the relegation zone. At the end of the process we will see if they are punished or not.". You do wonder, though, how the lack of Harry Kane will affect them. Son had earlier put Spurs 2-1 in front from the rebound of a penalty awarded as a result of an Engels foul shortly before half-time, the forward's first in the game coming after team-mate Toby Alderweireld had scored at both ends. El Ghazi bursts down the right flank, pings a cross in, the ball getting a deflection on its way into the box, Alderweireld makes a complete hash of it five yards out, flinging a boot at the bouncing ball in front of the goal and past Lloris in front of him. Last-gasp. It is now over 12 years since Spurs last suffered defeat here and this result will feel like a potentially pivotal moment for Jose Mourinho after an absorbing, crazy encounter. Decent action so far, still 20-odd minutes to go. Engels’s error, with the Belgian completely missing an attempted clearance, allowed Son a clear run on goal and he displayed composure to slide the ball under Reina’s body. Grealish swung over a corner and Engels rose above Alderweireld to head the ball past Lloris, his first goal for the club. Argentina duty a breath of fresh air for Messi after Barcelona strife. It's on the touchline level with the 18 yard box, left flank. Fallen Engels. Especially as they sit just a point above the drop zone. Let us hope so.

Spurs have been a little wasteful in front of goal today. Spurs failed to sign the Villa captain before the start of last season but Grealish has made huge strides since then, taking control of games with a swagger and thriving under the responsibility. Samatta was there waiting but still... Aurier fouls Grealish again, this time going through the back of him. Reina had performed brilliantly, producing five outstanding saves in the second half, but his one-man barricade collapsed as Son Heung-min secured Tottenham a crucial victory in their pursuit of a Champions League place. Pretty poor. I'd give it to him. October 1, 2020. Moura puts him through ahead of the Villa defence, he charges at Reina who is the immovable obstacle who ends his foray towards goal. Villa did respond, and levelled in the 54th minute. Spurs went behind in sloppy fashion after nine minutes when Alderweireld turned in Anwar El Ghazi's deflected right-wing cross having failed to communicate with his goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris. By Nicholas Mendola Feb 16, 2020, 8:09 AM EST. "Until the appeal has finished, Manchester City have the benefit of the doubt. Grealish looking lively with a couple of shots in the space of a minute or so from the left edge of the box. Uefa punished them but they have the chance to appeal. El Ghazi tries to place it in the top corner with the inside of his right boot but goes about three yards over. Alderweireld is down injured in his own penalty box and stays down as Villa attack around him. The second 25 minutes saw Spurs the better side and, with perhaps a bit of luck, they made the most of it. It's going to be very hard. And the one with the two best chances for them, probably.

It's a fairly damp day and that'll could lead to some decent football. Not much else he could do but shot across the face of the goal - and he does that but Reina saves from the tight angle. #THFC: Lloris (C), Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Dier, Winks, Dele, Bergwijn, Son, Lucas. Would it surprise you if he popped up with the winner or killer pass? Nakamba fells Bergwijn on the break and he picks up a booking for it. Villa really under the cosh here.

A smashing finish from Toby Alderweireld from a Spurs corner. It proved costly when Alderweireld lashed home on the spin from a tight angle after Villa had failed to clear a Spurs corner, though Dele Alli then missed two great chances to put the visitors ahead. Samatta brilliantly chests one down for El Ghazi in front of goal. And with Manchester City's potential Champions League ban coming into effect next year, there's a reasonable chance that even finishing fifth will be enough. Why has Daniel James' stock fallen after such a promising start for Manchester United? Son gets a bit ponderous in the penalty box and as he waits Villa wrestle the ball back from him. The ball then falls to Bergwijn on the left and it's blocked again. The Premier League returns this weekend with a very important match for both ends of the league table. Leave a comment.
