Unai Emery: "Tottenham played a fantastic game, scoring two goals quickly and dominating. We tried but we couldn't. The second half we reacted, but it wasn't enough. The second half, how we played, we must try and get it as a reaction we need for the next matches." #AVFC

Full time: #AVFC 1-2 Spurs Villa finish the game with the first shot on target in the 96th minute. A pitiful performance. Empty seats were increasingly visible by the end. Only cranks up the already huge pressure on Thursday, where they simply have to perform.
