It was a tense and fractious contest but Solanke remained composed to provide the match-turning moment.

A somewhat subdued atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the moment, as McGinn is brought down by Bentancur. Villa opt to build from the back rather than put the ball in the box, and they knock it around near the Spurs box before Udogie does well to dispossess McGinn.
