Tottenham Hotspur, a 29-year-old son Heung-min (29) missing due to a hamstring injury, beat Aston Villa to sixth in the league.

Tottenham won 2-0 with Carlos Vinicius and Harry Kane in a definite match between Aston Villa and the 2020-21 Premier League round 18 held away at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 22nd (Korean time). With a victory that day, Tottenham climbed to 6th place with 14 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses (48 points).

The opening goal was scored by Vinisius in the 29th minute. Lucas Moura exchanged the ball with Cain and passed it to Vinisius, who finished calmly.

Tottenham, who was 1-0 ahead of the first half, took advantage of Kane’s chance of taking a penalty kick in the 23rd minute of the second half and fleeing 2-0. With his 17th goal in the league, Kane took the lead in scoring with Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). By adding up to 13 assists, he reached 30 attack points first in the league.

With this victory, Tottenham was relieved of the shock of a 0-3 defeat against Zagreb on the 19th and a failure to advance to the Europa League quarterfinals on the 19th. Son Heung-min, who was replaced by a hamstring injury in the North London derby against Arsenal on the 15th, was unable to hit the ground.
