Aston Villa Triumphs Over Tottenham in FA Cup Thriller
Aston Villa secured a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup fourth round, advancing to the fifth round for the first time in a decade. The match, held at Villa Park, saw Jacob Ramsey open the scoring within the first minute after a goalkeeping error by Tottenham’s Antonin Kinsky. Morgan Rogers doubled Villa’s lead in the 64th minute, capitalising on a defensive lapse. Tottenham’s Mathys Tel pulled one back in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late for Spurs.
Villa dominated the game, with Unai Emery praising his team’s performance as “fantastic” and highlighting the contributions of Ramsey and Rogers. Tottenham, meanwhile, struggled to regain control after the early setback, with manager Ange Postecoglou admitting his side “fell short” despite a stronger second-half showing. The defeat adds to the pressure on Postecoglou, whose team were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup earlier in the week.
The result sees Villa progress in the FA Cup, while Tottenham’s hopes of silverware this season continue to fade. Villa will face Ipswich in their next fixture, while Spurs prepare to host Manchester United.
