League position: 7th Prior to this match, Tottenham Hotspur were unbeaten in 12 Premier League meetings against Aston Villa, including winning the last five (nine wins and three draws). Spurs came into this match unbeaten in their last ten home Premier League matches (seven wins and three draws). Tottenham had now kept only one clean sheet in their last nine Premier League games. Danny Rose was booked in the third minute of added time in the second half. Erik Lamela was booked in the sixth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 15th Villa boss Tim Sherwood managed Tottenham Hotspur for 22 Premier League games between December 2013 and May 2014. His win percentage of 59% was the best of any Spurs boss in the competition's history. This was his first return to White Hart Lane. Christian Benteke had now scored Aston Villa’s last six Premier League goals. Prior to this match, Aston Villa’s last victory over Tottenham Hotspur was a 2-1 away league win on 15 September 2008. Villa had lost seven of their previous eight away games in the Premier League, the exception being a 4-0 win at Sunderland on 14 March. Carlos Sanchez received his second yellow card in the fourth minute of added time in the second half and was subsequently sent off. Kieran Richardson was booked in the sixth minute of added time in the second half.
