Tottenham Hotspur cruised to a decisive 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in Sunday’s Premier League clash, powered by a rapid double from Dominic Solanke in the second half.
Villa initially took control when Morgan Rogers netted the opening goal in the 32nd minute, putting the visitors on track for a potential win that could have propelled them into the top three.
However, Spurs responded with resilience after the break, leveling the score through Brennan Johnson’s strike just four minutes into the second half.
The game took a dramatic turn when Solanke found the net twice within four minutes—scoring in both the 75th and 79th minutes—turning a 1-1 scoreline into a 3-1 advantage for the hosts.
Tottenham’s confidence was evident as they maintained their lead, and James Maddison capped off the performance with a spectacular free kick in the sixth minute of added time, curling the ball perfectly into the top corner.
This victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, following Spurs’ midweek League Cup triumph over Manchester City, lifted them to seventh place in the Premier League table.
Villa, sitting in fifth, missed an opportunity to climb into the Champions League spots, underscoring the competitive nature of this season’s race for European qualification.
