Dean smith commanded to press up, the sides began to rise and McGinn, Samson, Traoré and company began to hurt the Spurs between lines. It did not help the interests of the Tottenham the injury of Reguilón on the ankle when being hunted by Bertrand Traoré (48 '). The Madrilenian tried to continue but Mou He changed it minutes later.
The game script had already changed in favor of the Aston Villa, who continued to threaten Cries but without too much danger. He had the clearest El-Ghazi, that as soon as he entered the field of play, he crashed a distant shot into the wood (60 '). From there, the locals were gradually undone and the Tottenham to sentence.
Harry kane caused a very clear penalty of Cash and defined from eleven meters to put land in the middle on the scoreboard (68 '). The English forward already has 17 goals and equals Salah at the head of the scorers table.
