Solanke double helps Spurs secure emphatic win against Aston Villa

Behold the steelier, sturdier, more structured version of Angeball. From opting for the power of Pape Matar Sarr over the silkiness of James Maddison in midfield, to finding the right motivational words when all looked lost at half-time, this was a good day for Tottenham’s romanticist of a manager.

Ange Postecoglou’s substitutions were spot-on, his tactics proved far more effective than Unai Emery’s anti-football approach, and Aston Villa, their legs heavy after being given the runaround by Sarr, simply had no response to a stirring comeback from Spurs in the second half.
