Premier League: Tottenham Blow Aston Villa Away In Second-Half Rampage
Dominic Solanki scored twice as Tottenham blitzed Aston Villa in the second half on Sunday, winning 4-1 to move just two points behind their rivals for a top-four finish in the Premier League. All four Spurs goals came in a storming second half after Morgan Rogers put the visitors ahead in the first period. Brennan Johnson pulled the rejuvenated home side level shortly after half-time. Solanki then took centre stage, producing a delicate dinked finish to put Spurs ahead in the 75th minute before converting substitute Richarlison's cross four minutes later. James Maddison added gloss by firing home a free kick deep into stoppage time. The result lifts Ange Postecoglou's men to seventh in the table on 16 points -- two behind Villa, who missed out on the chance to climb into third spot.
