Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur have enhanced their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season with a win against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Tottenham Hotspur got the better of Aston Villa 4-0 away from home at Villa Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs scored two goals in quick succession in the opening minutes of the second half before Villa midfielder John McGinn was sent off.

Tottenham found the back of the net twice again in injury time to pick up all three points from the encounter.

Praise for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero vs Aston Villa

Graham Roberts was following the match, and the former Tottenham player was hugely impressed by the display produced by Cristian Romero.

As you can see below, Roberts has noted that Tottenham and Argentina international defender Romero was class against Villa.

The pundit has also named the other Tottenham players who were very good against Villa.

In the build-up to the game, former Villa striker and talkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor warned Romero against losing his cool and getting sent off. After all, the £42 million (Sky Sports) defender has a history of making reckless challenges.

Interestingly, it was one of Villa’s players, McGinn, who was shown a straight red card for a bad challenge.

Against Villa, Romero was very good, especially in the second half. He is a leader at the back, and he showed that against Villa with a very composed and professional display in defence.
