Aston Villa welcomed Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win at home in the Premier League. The Villans made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 12th minute when Conor Gallagher found the back of the net. Richarlison doubled his team’s advantage in the 25th minute as Unai Emery’s men went into the half-time interval 2-0 down on the scoreline.
Emi Buendia scored a late consolation goal for the Midlands club in injury time as Aston Villa crashed to a tough 2-1 loss in front of their home fans.
