By rights, Villa should have gone into halftime trailing 5-0 but for wasteful finishing from Tottenham.
On the flip side, can we not give credit to Emery, and Villa as a whole, for executing an almost flawless off-sides trap on Tottenham that ended up creating said wasteful chances? How many sides can say that they’ve forced Son into an offsides hat trick? Yes, wasteful chances abounded in the game, but not for lack of tactical mastery from Villas side either.
