Matty Cash talked to the press about Aston Villa eating Tottenham 2-1.
The right back saw Spurs go in the lead thanks to an early volley from Rodrigo Bentancur, but the guests were not about to give up easily. Morgan Rogers responded with a swerving strike in the first half to equalise before Cash contributed with an impressive act of bravery to force the winning goal.
Under pressure as the last man from a cleared corner, Cash pulled off a cross-field pass to hit Lucas Digne deep in Tottenham territory. He laid off the ball to substitute Emiliano Buendia, whose low drive went beyond Guglielmo Vicario, and Emery’s men walked away with three points at full time.
Villa have now won five successive games in all competitions, taking six points from their first two Europa League meetings and three consecutive Premier League triumphs over Fulham, Burnley, and Spurs. Cash is content with the improvement in the results and hopes that the form rolls on.
“It was a massive win. It’s a really tough place to come. Before the game, we were speaking about how we’ve been here and won before, so we know what it takes.
“I think we were resilient all around the pitch, and then Emi comes on and scores the winner.
“It was a nice pass! It paid off. We work on set pieces and second phases and always try and hit the furthest man. It was a nice contact, and a great win.
“We had a tough start to the season: everyone knows that, for different circumstances. All you can do is work hard, try to do what we’ve been doing the last few years – be resilient, score on the counter.
“We’ve picked up some great results, that’s five in a row now, so a really good win and hopefully we can keep the momentum.”
