17:26 GOAL - Aston Villa 0-2 Tottenham - Roberto Soldado (69 mins)
Just when Villa's momentum was building, this happens. Tottenham win possession in the left-hand corner and, after a neat build-up, Paulinho's delicate touch plays in Roberto Soldado, bursting into the area. He makes no mistake with his finish, showing us that he can score from open play as well from the penalty spot. Spurs have breathing space.
HALF-TIME - Aston Villa 0-1 Tottenham
16:30 GOAL - Aston Villa 0-1 Tottenham - Andros Townsend (31 mins)
Out of nothing, Spurs score... and there is just no stopping Andros Townsend at the moment. He does not even mean this goal, whipping in a curling cross from the right that eludes his team-mates but bounces straight into the net. Nice play by Lewis Holtby and Roberto Soldado in the build-up, but lots of luck about the finish.
