Tottenham Hotspur put on a dominant display to thrash Aston Villa 4-0 in a crucial Premier League match on Saturday. The win reignites Tottenham's hopes of securing a Champions League spot after falling behind in recent weeks.
After a slow start to the match, Tottenham came out firing in the second half. James Maddison opened the scoring with a stunning strike from outside the box. Brennan Johnson doubled the lead shortly after, capitalizing on a defensive error from Villa.
The match took a decisive turn in Tottenham's favor when Aston Villa's John McGinn was sent off for a reckless challenge. With Villa down to 10 men, Tottenham took full control of the game.
Son Heung-min added a third goal for Tottenham with a clinical finish, before Lucas Moura sealed the victory with a late strike. The win sees Tottenham move up to sixth place in the Premier League table, just four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa's hopes of a top-half finish have been dented by the defeat. They remain in seventh place, five points behind Tottenham.
