Most disappointing result for Tottenham Hotspur after defeating by Aston Villa and this result make them have loss in three consecutives matches. First defeated Chelsea, Wolves and continues the loss trend in this week after defeating by Aston Villa make Spur loss opportunity pressure Arsenal on the top standings. Current standings, Tottenham Hotspur have loss their top fourth place after Aston Villa have two points left and make them up to 4th standings. Actually Tottenham Hotspur have opportunity make close points with Manchester City and take Liverpool on 3rd position after both team failed get three points in this week, but Tottenham Hotspur have loss from Aston Villa although managed winning over trough Lo Celso goal but have conceded two goals from Aston Villa.
You're right. It is very disappointing that Tottenham got a defeat again. Yes, they got 3 defeats in a row. It is actually quite surprising, Tottenham ever leads the EPL standings but they seems like a mediocre team now. Not sure what the main problem, but it seems they have too many injured players. With too many unavailable players, Tottenham gets difficulty to prepare the best lineup. In the last 3 matches, they played without some key players.
Regarding the match against Aston Villa, Tottenham already tried to do their best. They were dominating the match, they made more shot attempts and they won the ball possessions around 62%. It means that Tottenham played better, but they couldn't play effectively, they missed too many goal opportunities.
