Tottenham came from behind to beat Aston Villa on Sunday - a feat they have achieved in each of their past three Premier League home matches.

On Sunday's episode of Match of the Day 2, former Manchester United defender Phil Jones said: "We sit here often and praise the players a lot, but sometimes the managers deserve praise and today especially.

"Ange made some decisions and substitutions that benefitted the team and ultimately they got the result they wanted in the end."

Spurs have gained more points from losing positions in Premier League home matches in 2024 (24) than any other club, with Manchester City next on the list for that metric with 14.

Ex-Spurs midfielder Danny Murphy added: "It shows that the way Ange plays, that relentless press and willingness to keep going forward and keep making chances does work - especially at home.

"There's no way, when you watch Tottenham play, that you think even when they're a goal down they're not going to make chances. It's a bit different away from home, you can have a debate about whether they should be the same, but certainly at home they're a force to be reckoned with."
