It's 4-1 now. Shambolic performance from Villa in the second half. Their mentality was fully destroyed after Tottenham's first goal. They're worsening as their RB gets exploited by Tottenham.
Their players made too many mistakes. They made too many touches, dribbled slowly, and did not pass the ball right away. Also, starting four midfielders made their build-up so slow. It's obvious their strategy 4-4-2 is not working in modern football.
A bad day for Aston Villa. They were the ones to take the lead at Morgan Roger's goal on corner. But after the first half, 4 goals were scored against Aston Villa. Not a great performance by Martinez either. The 2nd half was almost fully dominated by Tottenham. Aston Villa had the chance to reach the third place if they had won this match but after losing to Tottenham, and Chelsea if won against Manchester City today, which they would likely, Aston Villa would move into 6th position. The table's standing are still in the early phase but the team losing easy points would not get to the top of the table.
