Overview
- Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers put Villa two up before halftime, with Wilson Odobert pulling one back for Tottenham early in the second half.
- Tempers flared after the final whistle when Ollie Watkins celebrated near the away end, prompting a shove from Joao Palhinha and a mass confrontation involving players, staff and stewards.
- Frank said Watkins was "very provoking" and urged his players to keep cool heads, rejecting the notion of a wider discipline problem even as tensions spilled over.
- Tottenham were booed off at halftime and their FA Cup exit extends a poor home run that has heightened pressure on the head coach.
- Richarlison suffered a hamstring injury during the match, adding to recent muscle problems for Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur reported this week.
