Highlights

End of 2nd Half

Full-time: Tottenham are booed off by the returning fans as they fall to a damaging home loss to Aston Villa, and suddenly their top-six hopes are out of their own hands.

90'+5

Villa hit the post! Chukwuemeka almost marks his debut with a stunning goal but his teasing shot from the edge of the box is denied by the post

90'+3

Villa sub: 19-year-old Jaden Philogene-Bidace comes on for Traore.

90'+2

Villa are threatening again on the counter-attack but their final decision is constantly letting them down, as Dier steals it from Traore.

90'

Bale with a lovely piece of skill as he juggles the ball but launches his shot high into the sky. There will be SIX minutes of added time to play!

89'

Villa sub: Carney Chukwuemeka comes on for his senior debut as he replaces Nakamba for the last few minutes.

88'

Doherty fizzes in a low cross but it's cleared by the superb McGinn, who has to be the man of the match.

87'

Bale has a shot - it's blocked - and Kane's floated cross is claimed by the Villa goalkeeper, who will take his time in releasing the ball.

86'

Alli tracks back and makes an important intervention to deny Villa strengthening their lead on the counter-attack. Watkins failed to get his shot away when he had the chance.

85'

Kane is left unmarked at the far post - but he isn't spotted and he can only be frustrated as Reguilon's low cross is scrambled behind for a corner.

84'

Chance! It should be 3-1 to Villa! Luiz is afforded too much space on the left, he centres it for Traore, who slices his shot. It falls to Watkins but Dier makes a hugely important block.

83'

There is some concern over Tanganga, who requires a stretcher after a nasty looking ankle injury. He's applauded by the home fans as he's helped off the pitch and he'll be replaced by Doherty.

78'

Villa are dropping deeper and deeper, inviting pressure. Can Spurs capitalise? News will be filtering through that Arsenal are now leading 1-0 at Crystal Palace leaving Arteta's men just a point behind their arch rivals.

75'

Save on Kane! Bale and Kane link up effectively, with the latter squeezing in a shot from a tight angle after some tidy footwork, forcing Martinez into a routine save.

74'

Spurs sub: Another change for the hosts as Tanguy Ndombele comes on for Winks.
