I remember them being above mid table but after they beat Tottenham theyre now fourth and only 2 points off the top of the league. That means that if they didn’t lose to Nottingham forest or Everton they would be first. Ik they really haven’t had difficult match ups but it’s still very impressive.
Emery is a good manager, and Villa have developed a great squad. I was expecting them to win yesterday, especially as Spurs have a backline that is as reliable as a 1980s Lada with Romero and Van der Ven out. , alongside a host of other injuries.
VAR outage also played a hand as Gil was elbowed by Carlos, and the ref bottled sending off Cash for his challenge on Bentancur. That said, Villa took their chances well and that’s what counts at the end.
