The way Tottenham trashed Aston Villa was surprising, especially considering that Aston Villa was leading at halftime. I would say Tottenham recognized their lapses and quickly addressed them before the start of the second half, which allowed them to emerge victorious. Additionally, the return of their ever-reliable captain added another level of energy and boosted their style of play. I’ve noticed that when Son Heung-min doesn’t play for Tottenham, they struggle to perform. They must be glad to have their captain back in time to help them get past Aston Villa in such a convincing manner.

Tottenham Hotspur staged a great comeback. I thought it would be tough for Tottenham to catch Aston Villa because they had hardly any good chances in the first half, and they didn't even have a single shot on goal. But it turns out my guess was wrong because Tottenham apparently can create a good balance so they can improve their collectiveness. In stark contrast to what happened in the first half, Tottenham created many shots on Goal in the second half, and 4 of those were converted into goals.
In general Tottenham in the first and second half were different teams and when Aston Villa scored I rejoiced, because I thought that now in the second half Aston Villa will finally defeat Tottenham and the odds on Aston Villa's victory was 3.5 and I thought it was a lot and I decided to try my luck, besides Tottenham did not look the favorite in this game.
Tottenham lost to Crystal Palace and won against City, but still the odds for Tottenham to win 1.8 seemed strange and I thought that at least it should have been 2.2 or 2.3, but the second half performance of Tottenham showed why the bookmakers believed in Tottenham's victory. In fact, Aston Villa had no dangerous moments in the second half and Aston Villa just fought off Tottenham's attacks, and Aston Villa did it badly and the third goal was the fault of Aston Villa defenders, who gave away essentially a goal-scoring pass to a Tottenham player.
