With a brilliant 4-0 win away to Aston Villa, Heung-Min Son’s hat-trick moved Tottenham three points clear of Arsenal in the race for fourth.
Son and Dejan Kulusevski scored early in each half to put Antonio Conte’s side in command, before the hat-trick hero added two more on the break to secure an emphatic victory.
Villa created numerous chances in the first half, peppering Hugo Lloris’ goal with shots, but they were unable to convert any of their chances, despite the support of their fans. It was the distinction.
Spurs were fourth at kick-off after Arsenal’s surprise home defeat to Brighton earlier in the day, and their victory puts them in a great position to secure Champions League football.
The vibe is quite different for Steven Gerrard and Aston Villa. This defeat is their fourth in a row in the Premier League, and it is the worst of the bunch. They are now in the bottom part of the table.
