Dominic Solanke shined with two goals as Tottenham Hotspur went back to winning form in the Premier League after beating Aston Villa 4-1 after trailing at halftime.
Tottenham scored all four goals in the second half of the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, making a bold statement about their new form after they lost 1-0 at the previous weekend to Crystal Palace.
Aston Villa scored the first goal and their only goal in the match, giving them an early lead after the half-hour mark when Morgan Rogers tapped in after goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario mistakenly deflected John McGinn’s corner right into his path.
Tottenham equalized after four minutes. The second half started with Brennan Johnson scoring his goal from a cross by Heung-min Son at the far post.
Tottenham took advantage of the last 15 minutes as Dominic Solanke finished off two slick team plays in just four minutes. Substitute James Maddis scored a goal from his free-kick that was played at stoppage time that sealed the win and put an end to Aston Villa’s seven-game unbeaten streak.
The win does not only make a bold statement to teams that are yet to compete with Tottenham; it also portrays the team as being resilient and possessing attacking prowess, boosting their confidence for their next matches.
