    Oh, Lucas Moura, stop it.

    The confidence is oozing through the Brazilian now, he's even doing Maradona turns in his own half.

    It results in the Spurs forward being chopped down. Think he'll take the breather.

    Dean Smith has to look at this midfield. It is getting overrun game in game out.

    Big chance for Villa!

    Keinan Davis does superbly to shake off Davinson Sanchez and get the wrong side of the Tottenham defender.

    He picks out Ross Barkley, who takes a touch inside the box but sees his attempt blocked by a Spurs leg. That could've been the moment.

    Neat football from Tottenham, with Steven Bergwijn waiting for Ben Davies to charge into the box on the overlap and the full-back's cross is turned behind.

    Right, 10 minutes to go, this one is in danger of just petering out for Aston Villa.

    We saw a dramatic comeback from Arsenal earlier, can Dean Smith's side mount something similar?

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham

    Another change for Tottenham too. Moussa Sissoko comes on to shore things up for the visitors and Tanguy Ndombele gets a breather.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 79 mins

    Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham

    Final change for Villa. Trezeguet goes off for Keinan Davis.

    Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham

    Lucas Moura has been very good today, arguably the most effective player on the pitch for either side.

    Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg doesn't get forward too often but he makes a tackle on the edge of the Villa box and then forces Martinez into a low save.

    Spurs beginning to look comfortable.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 75 mins

    Matty Cash's day gets a little worse. He goes into Mike Dean's notebook for a foul on Lucas Moura.

    Trezeguet engineers a bit of room to work a shot on goal but can only drag his effort wide of the far post.

    Wouldn't say Villa deserve to be two goals down, but they've also not done enough to test a Spurs side who came into this on the back of two bad results.

    If I was a Villa supporter I'd be aggrieved at that penalty. But I'm not, so I'm not.

    Steve, Swindon

    Fair play, Steve.

    Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham

    Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg drags Matt Targett down on the left to concede a free-kick. Ross Barkley has just come on and will take this.

    It's a dangerous delivery but Ben Davies can head clear.

    Harry Kane has been directly involved in 30 goals in the Premier League this season (17 goals, 13 assists), while only Robert Lewandowski (41) has had a direct hand in more across the top five European leagues in 2020-21.

    It's a really silly tackle - when you're having a bad day as an individual to make such a tackle in that situation is silly and it's cost Aston Villa dearly. Even if the goalkeeper had dived the right way he wasn't stopping it.

    Harry Kane was going nowhere really, Matt Cash committed himself and couldn't pull out of the tackle despite the Tottenham forward's poor touch.

    No argument from the Villa players none at all. The ball was going out as well, I bet it was very close to actually being out by the time the challenge came to be honest.

    GOAL - Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenhampublished at 20:56 Greenwich Mean Time 21 March 2021

    Harry Kane (68 mins)

    No mistake from Harry Kane.

    He's so calm from the spot, sending Emiliano Martínez the wrong way to find the bottom left corner.

    Tottenham double their lead. They've done very little but scored twice.

  18. PENALTYpublished at 67 mins

    Penalty to Tottenham!

    Harry Kane completely miscues his touch, but he's caught by Matty Cash as the Villa defender slides in.

    Spurs knock it around the edge of the box but it peters out.

    Jose Mourinho makes his first change, with Steven Bergwijn coming on for Giovani Lo Celso.

    Ross Barkley is on for Villa, as Morgan Sanson makes way.

    Think we got spoiled in the early game, Tom.
