Son and Bergwijn lead the way: Tottenham player ratings in win at Villa
By Gary Pearson
A match that had a bit of everything saw Son Heung-Min bag an injury time winner to give Tottenham a pivotal 3-2 win over Aston Villa.
Creating chances for fun, Tottenham’s attacking players created fits for Villa’s rearguard. Not nearly as lethal as they’d like, Steven Bergwign, Dele Alli and Son did enough to get the visitor’s across the line.
Toby Alderweireld, after the birth of his son on Friday, had a match he won’t soon forget. The Belgian scored a goal for both sides and was slightly culpable for Villa’s second. But all three points are in the book, a result that might just be the turning point for Spurs in the race to hunt down Chelsea in the top four.
Here are the player ratings from an incredibly eventful, action-packed match at Villa Park.
