Emery talked yesterday about Jackson not picking up unnecessary bookings. 30 seconds into the second half, he gets one. #AVFC

Matty Cash replaces Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the start of the second half. #AVFC

No player covered more distance (3.8 mi), made more blocks, had more shots (4) or was fouled more (2) than Johan Manzambi in the first half of #TOTAVL. Everywhere and off the mark 😍

Jacob Tanswell

HT: Spurs 0-1 #AVFC Spurs decent in wide areas but Villa started to nullify as the half wore on. CBs defending box very well - 5 headed clearances from Mings, with Suzuki's saves key to weathering opening period.

John Townley

HT: Villa lead at the break thanks to Manzambi's first goal for the club on his full debut. It came while Spurs were down to 10, with Van de Ven having to come off. Suzuki made several impressive saves to keep Villa's clean sheet intact earlier in the half. Tottenham 0-1 #AVFC
