Tottenham Hotspur suffered a disappointing defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round, with the travelling Spurs fans making their displeasure with chairman Daniel Levy known throughout the match. The 2-1 loss at Villa Park extends Spurs' struggles in recent months, with the team having dropped to 14th in the Premier League after a string of poor results. Despite a late goal from new signing Mathys Tel, Spurs were ultimately outplayed by a cohesive and determined Villa side.
Villa took the lead in the second minute through Jacob Ramsey, capitalizing on some sloppy defending from Spurs. The goal came after Morgan Rogers, who was outstanding for Villa, had shown impressive pace and skill to break through the Spurs defense. Tottenham's goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky, had a night to forget, appearing unconvincing and allowing Ramsey's shot to slip through him. The first half was a nightmare for Spurs, with Villa dominating possession and creating numerous chances. While Spurs did manage to have a few moments in attack, they were largely unable to get a foothold in the game. Son Heung-min had a golden opportunity to equalize for Spurs in the 24th minute, but his shot was saved by Emiliano Martínez. Aston Villa added a second goal in the 76th minute through Rogers, who finished clinically after another swift counter-attack. Spurs did manage to pull a goal back in stoppage time through Tel, but it proved to be too little too late. The result leaves Spurs facing a long road back to respectability, with questions mounting over the future of manager Ange Postecoglou.
