Tottenham lost their third consecutive match and dropped out of the top four
In the thirteenth round of the English Premier League, Tottenham faced Aston Villa. Both teams started the season strongly, with Spurs even leading the table a few rounds ago. However, their recent results have seen a decline.
Tottenham, playing at home, took control of the ball and created occasional moments near Villa's goal. One of these resulted in a goal in the 22nd minute by Lo Celso. The visitors scored shortly after, but Watkins' goal was disallowed due to offside. Villa scored a legitimate goal in injury time of the first half. Torres headed the ball into the net after a free-kick.
In the second half, both teams showed an equal game, but only the visitors managed to score. Watkins netted a precise shot in the 61st minute, securing their victory.
Tottenham 1-2 Aston Villa
Lo Celso 22' - Torres 45+7', Watkins 61'
