86'Harry Kane scores after pinball in the area!!! Grealish is dispossessed by Lamela, his pass through to Kane is deflected by Mings and Engels and Kane is there to pick up the loose ball to fire home. Lucky in the build-up, but Kane made no mistake.

82'Villa sub: Hourihane off and Douglas Luiz on.
-
81'Alderweireld wants handball and a penalty!!! His shot is deflected by the defender's arm and it goes to the GK. I'm not sure it's deliberate though. Kodija's arm is a bit up though. Could be given elsewhere, but probably not in England.
-
80'The siege continues!! Moura gets a corner!

79'Ndombele crosses into the area and Sanchez tries an overhead kick!

-
71'Grealish is dispossessed by Eriksen, but the chance is wasted as Eriksen can't find a teammate in the box.

-
45'HT: Spurs 0-1 Villa!! McGinn's ninth minute goal gives the away side a half-time lead. Villa scored against the run of play, but have defended very well since then and have looked to double their lead on the counter. Spurs have been rather poor in front of goal and Kane had two brilliant chances to level right on HT. Join us shortly for the second period!
-
45'Kane is clean through after a great pass by Lamela and he inexplicably sends it wide of the goal. The flag was up, but the VAR would have had a look at that for sure.

-
34'Kane shoots over the crossbar!!! Villla lose the ball in their own half and the England international is fed the ball being failing to hit the target.
-
32'Trezeguet is denied by Lloris after Grealish started a Villa counter. Spurs had a corner, lost the ball and almost conceded. They need to be careful. Lucky Trezeguet's shot was weak.
-
