March 10, (THEWILL)- Tottenham Hotspur reignited their faltering English Premier League title hopes with a resounding 4-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park. The result sees Spurs cut the deficit to the top four to just two points while maintaining a game in hand on their rivals.
The encounter began tentatively, with neither side able to create clear-cut opportunities in a cagey first half. However, the game sparked into life immediately after the restart as James Maddison opened the scoring for the visitors with a close-range finish.
Tottenham swiftly took complete control, netting another through Brennan Johnson. Villa’s hopes were dented when John McGinn, received a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Destiny Udogie.
With Villa struggling to contain their opponents, Son added a third with a thunderous strike before substitute Timo Werner rounded off the scoring late on. The comprehensive victory extends Spurs’ unbeaten run to seven matches across all competitions.
The result piles pressure on Villa, who have now lost three of their last four home games, ahead of their crucial UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final second leg against Ajax.
