    FT: Spurs 3-1 Villa!! It's all over in North London!!! Villa defended brilliantly but they couldn't hold on in the last twenty minutes. First Ndombele and then a double from Kane saw Spurs win 3-1 against a solid Villa side. Spurs were much improved in the second half and took away the three points. Thanks for joining us and see you again tomorrow!

    Spurs sub: Lamela goes off after that and N'koudou on.

  • 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.
  • 84'
    Sissoko's shot is deflected for a corner now. Villa still under lots of pressure here. And Mings clears it again!
  • 83'
    No penalty given in the end. In the CL we may have seen a different outcome.

  • 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!
  • 78'

  • 73'
    Ndombele scores after Heaton makes a superb save!!! Mings heads away the corner, Eriksen sends it back in, Sanchez is denied by Heaton, but the move continues.

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

    Spurs start the half strongly with dangerous balls into the area and now Lamela is denied by a sliding Engels!
  • 46'
    Welcome back everyone!! Spurs get us back underway!
  • 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.
  • 45'
    One additional minute.
  • 45'
    What an opportunity for Kane!!! Ndombele sends a looping pass in from the edge of the box and Kane heads over the goal from just a few yards out. Spurs' best chance of the half.
  • 43'
    Villa's game plan is clear: defend and look for a second on the counter.

  • 37'
    Sissoko is in the box and tries to beat the defender. The Villa man ends up stopping him in his tracks though.
  • 37'
    Villa looking very solid in defence, but just losing the ball a couple of times in dangerous areas.
  • 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.

    Tottenham have a corner here now.
  • 30'
    Hourihane smacks it into the wall though,
  • 29'

  • 21'
    Unbelievable!!! A great pass to Trezeguet inside the box and his shot towards goal is blocked by Sanchez. A vital block although Trezeguet may have been offside.
  • 20'
    Rose brings down Trezeguet. The home crowd are starting to get frustrated.

    Hourihane clears for Villa in their own box after Spurs try to pass their way though the defence and now Kane wants a pen!
  • 14'

    Crucial intervention by Mings to prevent Kane being one on one after a long pass.

    That was totally out of the blue.

  • 9'
    Mcginn scores for Villa!!!!! Totally against the run of play!!! A long punt forward from Mings absolutely sliced open the defence. Mcginn takes a touch with his head 25 yards out before controlling, dummying and then firing into the far corner after Rose was felled by the dummy.
