Tottenham Hotspur accentuated quality in North London, as they recorded a outstanding comeback victory over Aston Villa.
Spurs responded to falling behind in the first period impressively, as they produced three delightful goals in the second half.
Morgan Rogers Scored The Opener
Morgan Rogers had taken Aston Villa into the lead in the 32nd minute via a rebound following a scramble into the box.
Brennan Johnson’s Equalizer For Tottenham Hotspur against Aston Villa
Four minutes into the second period, Brennan Johnson secured the leveler for Ange Postecoglou’s side with a lovely tap-in from the back post after receiving a well-delivered ball from Heung-min Son.
Unai Emery’s side looked clueless into the second duration, but they battled to maintain the scoreline until their defense was breached in the 75th minute.
Dominic Solanke’s Brace
Dominic Solanke crept in behind the defense of Aston Villa, with Dejan Kulusevski spotting the run and threading the ball into the Englishman’s path.
Solanke turned with enough room to do damage and clipped his effort over Emiliano Martinez and into the far corner.
Four minutes later, Dominic Solanke struck again as he picked up his brace after getting onto a well-measured pass from Richarlison.
Richarlison found Solanke at the back post, and he basically squared the ball across the box, with the latter finishing off the job after connecting to the ball with his left foot.
Dominic Solanke’s Celebration
Dominic Solanke enacted an anime-inspired celebration after scoring against Aston Villa, much to the delight of Tottenham Hotspur fans.
His Record Against Aston Villa
Solanke’s brace also meant he has scored more Premier League goals against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa than any other player (4), netting four times in four such appearances against them.
James Maddison’s Delightful Free-kick Goal
James Maddison put the icing on the cake for Tottenham Hotspur deep into stoppage time, with the former Leicester City man curling a brilliant free-kick into the left side of the goalpost leaving goalkeeper Martinez hapless.
Maddison has now scored as many direct free-kicks in the Premier League as Frank Lampard (9), while only James Ward-Prowse (15) has scored more direct free-kicks in the competition since Madders made his debut in the competition in 2018.
The free-kick goal was also his 50th goal in the Premier League and it indicates to everyone that he is one of the leagues biggest players.
