Antonin Kinsky: Made a comfortable save after a Manzambi shot before a better one frustrated Buendía. He could do little to stop the goals. 6Pedro Porro: He returned after missing the draws against Nottingham Forest and Everton but his return lasted 18 minutes when he retired injured. It had made a positive start. January 6 Paul van Hecke: Looked like a solid performance as he handled Jackson’s nuisance as Villa ventured forward but Manzambi won the ball from him for the opener. It marked the late consolation. 6Micky van de Ven: He was hit in the face just before half-time and was off the pitch for treatment when Villa scored, which summed up Spurs’ afternoon. 5Andrew Robertson: Made a mistake trying to retain the ball, which ultimately led to Villa’s first. He thought he had atoned, but it was disallowed for offside in the run-up to Kudus’ disallowed goal. 5 Sandro Tonali: A first-half goal went wide but it was another disappointing outing for the £100m midfielder. 5Rodrigo Bentancur: Enjoyed the battle in an occasionally congested midfield, but his influence diminished as the game progressed. 5Savio: The striker should have put Spurs ahead early and Suzuki kept out an excellent volley, but after a strong first 25 minutes he failed to build. 5Mateus Fernandes: Substituted at half-time as Tottenham chased the game, the former West Ham midfielder was a victim of circumstance. 6Omar Marmoush: The Manchester City loanee was brought in to score the goals, but it was a listless display once the game started to drift away from Tottenham. 5Dominic Solanke: The striker has not scored in the Premier League since March and could not find a telling touch again. There was little indication that their drought would end. 5Subs: Archie Gray (on 18, Porro): Could have scored with his first touch but Suzuki denied him. That was the best he could do. 6Mohammed Kudus (46, Fernandes): Came on when Tottenham needed more offensive impetus and had a goal disallowed, but could not generate a spark. 5James Maddison (66, Solanke): The substitute could not make an impact from the bench. 5Lucas Bergvall (at 84, Bentancur). Conor Gallagher (at 84, Tonali). The late consolation was his second goal in consecutive games. Unused substitutes: Dubravka, Tosin, Senesi, Udogie.
