    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Oh, wow.

    We now have all three of Tottenham's defenders in the book.

    Ben Davies just flies in on Ashley Young two-footed and it's another silly challenge.

    Frustrations starting to show.

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Harry Kane wins a clever free-kick about 30 yards out.

    Son Heung-min sends in the delivery and Tyrone Mings eventually heads it away.

    Is anyone going to wake this game up in the last 10 minutes?

    It's been very very scrappy. Both sides are overplaying, losing the ball and finding themselves in difficult positions again.

    Lucas Digne pings one into the mix, looking for Ollie Watkins but Cristian Romero gets rid of the danger.

    Spurs have a chance to break but once again it's all a bit scrappy and Bryan Gil passes it straight out of play.

    This game is exhausting, not helping the sore head! 0-0 written all over it.

    Daniel, London

    Spurs must be one of the most uninspiring teams in the Premier League!

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen takes care of a Spurs cross and spots Leon Bailey sprinting down the pitch.

    He throws a long ball to meet the winger but Bailey is hacked down by Clement Lenglet. Another Spurs player goes in the book.

    Emery would want Villa to have a quicker transition when they win the ball. Trying to look for that more direct pass at times with fewer passes in between.

    Not allowing Spurs to get back into position and get that shape in place which makes it difficult to break through.

    Son Heung-min takes it and it's booted away by Ashley Young.

    He thought he'd get another go but the referee signals for a throw-in instead.

    Now then, Spurs have a corner.

    They are struggling to create something in open play so what can they do with this?

    Romero's challenge was unnecessary. He's come from behind and gone through Watkins. Again, the referee has made the right decision.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 27 mins

    Tottenham 0-0 Aston Villa

    Harry Kane attempts to drive forward but that wall is in the way again. Villa look to counter but there's a heavy challenge from Cristian Romero on Ollie Watkins which the Villa players are not happy with.

    He does get the ball but it's an aggressive one and he's into the book.

    Bissouma doesn't get hit in the head at all, he just goes down hoping for the free-kick. I think the referee got it absolutely spot on.

    Spurs continuing to probe but there is an Aston Villa shirt in the way every time.

    Ollie Watkins is back doing his defensive duties and cuts out a cross heading for the far past but his foot catches Yves Bissouma, who goes down holding his head.

    He looks OK to continue.

    There'd have to be a goal for there to be a comeback, Alex. It's not looking promising so far.

    Shall we just skip to the 89th minute for the late Spurs comeback?

    Son Heung-min latches onto a ball on the edge of the area but his shot is blocked by Ezri Konsa.

    It's neat from Aston Villa but all a bit too easy.

    Kane has come quite a long way back into midfield trying to pick up the ball.

    The Tottenham fans are starting to find their voice but there's not much to shout about on the pitch.

    Aston Villa are sitting very, very deep when Spurs are on the attack.

    Spurs just knocking the ball around in the opposition half but without really posing a threat.

    Silly challenge from Tyrone Mings bringing Harry Kane down when he wasn't going anywhere.

    Initially the game was high intensity and Spurs looked like they wanted to get off to a good start on the front foot.

    Aston Villa have probably had slightly more possession without causing Spurs any real problems.

    The game is a little bit scrappy at the moment, nobody is really taking control of it.
