Unai Emery has now recorded eight wins in the last nine league games.
Unai Emery’s impressive run in charge of Aston Villa continued with another vital Premier League win—this time a 2-0 victory over a struggling Tottenham side. The result pushed Villa into fourth place on the table, just above Manchester City, with one match left to play.
This win was Villa’s eighth in nine league matches, showing how much momentum they’ve built as the season draws to a close.
Konsa and Kamara Secure the Points
After a quiet first half, the breakthrough arrived in the 58th minute. John McGinn whipped in a corner, and Ollie Watkins rose to meet it, heading the ball into the path of Ezri Konsa. The defender made no mistake from close range, firing Villa into the lead.
Fifteen minutes later, Villa struck again. Boubacar Kamara picked up the ball outside the box and powered a low shot past Spurs keeper Antonin Kinsky. It was Kamara’s first-ever goal in the Premier League.
Villa Dominate As Spurs Struggle
Aston Villa controlled most of the match, creating chances and pressing high. Captain John McGinn came close to adding a third with a curling effort that narrowly missed the target. Spurs, meanwhile, offered little in attack and looked off the pace.
With several injuries affecting their squad, Ange Postecoglou’s side struggled to build rhythm and spent most of the game defending.
Champions League Dream Still Alive
Villa now hold their Champions League hopes in their own hands. They must beat Manchester United on the final day and also rely on favorable results elsewhere to seal a top-five finish, which would likely secure a spot in Europe’s top competition.
Despite the pressure, Emery’s team are finishing the season strongly and showing real belief.
Spurs Turn to Europa League Final
For Tottenham, their hopes in the league are fading. With Premier League form dipping, they now turn their full attention to the Europa League final on May 21, where they’ll face Ruben Amorim’s United.
It’s a huge test for Postecoglou, and lifting the trophy might be the only way to end their season on a high note.
