MATCH REPORT: Tottenham eased the pressure on under-fire manager Jose Mourinho with a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa that moved them into the top six.
End of 2nd Half
90+4'
FT: Villa 0-2 Spurs. Goals from Vinicius and Kane (pen) move Spurs up to sixth and within three points of the top four. It was much-needed for Mourinho and Co after their Europa League collapse. Villa missed Grealish again and drop to 10th.
90+2'
Spurs have looked very comfortable since Kane's goal. Jose will want the clean sheet as they bid to ease this one out. Targett booked as Villa's frustration shows.

As it stands, Spurs will move up to sixth - just three points off Chelsea in fourth. Villa will be seven points further back in 10th (with a game in hand). McGinn booked a few moments ago for dissent apparently.

Spurs are looking good for sixth spot right now. Villa haven't looked like they can get one back, never mind two. Still hope though.

Deja vu for Villa. They've dominated the start to a half and then come unstuck.

Just the 27 for Kane so far this term. Not bad!

GOAL! Kane makes no mistake as he sends Martinez the wrong way with a clinical spot kick.
