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.

Tottenham actually are the first team to lose three games in a row after taking the lead in all of them. Just a month ago they were considered tittle contenders today after this defeat they find themselves outside the top four which to many is disappointing. Personally I don’t expect much from this side because I have always say that they are a team that do not have strong back up on the bench and they have just got exposed and every team will like to exploit that. Seriously the two players that are absent Van De ven and Madison are just an integral part of the team the two were the missing link before they join the club and now with injury I don’t see Tottenham surviving much from this. The thing I love this senerio because it will test the tactical twerk of Ange. I want to see how he will make this injury crisis his team is facing and come out of it.

As for Aston Villa seriously they have been excellent under this Unai Emery, first is his signings they have acquired quality players that could play for the top top the teams in Europe, example is Pau Torres, and Diaby. They play very fast counter attacking football and that has been causing problems for teams. Today Tottenham dominated the game but still they managed to carve out a win, it is still early to make any predictions but I think they could still play European competitions next season
