Well, I certainly didn’t expect THAT result! Tottenham Hotspur hosted a dangerous and resurgent Aston Villa side today and started the match a bit flat, conceding a corner kick goal to Morgan Rogers and taking a 1-0 deficit into halftime. But they roared back in the second half — Brennan Johnson leveled the match 4 minutes into the second half, Dominic Solanke added a brace, and James Maddison put the cherry on top of this Tottenham sundae in what turned into a dominant 4-1 win.
But it wasn’t all good news. Spurs got bit by the injury bug after Cuti Romero limped off the pitch in the second half, while substitute Richarlison appeared to pull his hamstring moments after assisting Solanke for his second goal.
Some really impressive performances in this one. It’s time to rate the players.
Rate the players from 1⁄2 to 5 stars. If the player doesn’t deserve a rating due to minutes played, DO NOT RANK. I will round the stars up/down to the nearest half-star for the player ratings later this week.
