Aston Villa captain John McGinn being restrained by manager Unai Emery as Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou looks on. The Scottish midfielder sparked a melee after his cynical challenge on Spurs fullback Destiny Udogie, which resulted in a red card in his side's 4-0 home defeat on March 10.
LONDON Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has urged his men to stay calm and be consistent, after they clinched a vital 4-0 English Premier League win at Aston Villa on March 10 to keep up the chase for a top-four spot.
South Korean captain captain Son Heung-min once again played a crucial role, scoring a goal and providing two assists.
The result meant that Spurs are now just two points behind fourthplaced Villa (55), having played 27 matches, one less than Unai Emery's men.
"I think we made it tough for Aston Villa, they worked hard just to contain us," said Postecoglou.
"It was a big game with plenty of significance, so for us to perform like that was a big credit to everyone. We knew it was a big game, obviously everyone was talking it up as a game where it could lead to something significant. But I never saw it like that, there's a good chunk of the season still to go.
"We just need to stay calm, play our football. We know every game is a challenge in the Premier League, especially a team like us who are trying to gain an identity.
