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.

Tottenham and Aston Villa both were playing neck to neck till the time the match was level 1-1. Once Tottenham got the lead by Solanke, there are only 15 minutes left in the match. Aston Villa tried to go all in at attack and this opened spaces for the Tottenham. Solanke scored another goal in the 79 minutes and game are all over for the Villa. Tottenham got another goal right at the end of the match too and the final score was 4-1. Those who only saw the score may feel that it was a one sided match, but actually it was a close game till the 74 min.
