The Aston Villa has strengthened their offer to qualify for the Champions League while they beat Tottenham for 2-0 to climb the top five of Friday’s first premier League.
Unai Emery’s team did not have a margin of error at Villa Park as the race for the first five places is approaching a dramatic conclusion.
The goals of the second half of Ezri Konssa and Boubacar Kamara have assured that the battle of Villa to play in the Elite Club competition in Europe will go down to the last day of the season.
Villa, who has won five of the last six games, still needs Chelsea or Manchester City so as not to win one of the last two games to have control of their destiny when they face Manchester United on May 25th.
Emery’s men are likely to need a victory at Old Trafford if they want to achieve their first five goals.
Tottenham was much more worried about its Champions League route, winning the Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao on Wednesday.
Lyening in 17th place after their defeat of the 21st championship this mandate, the troubled team of Ange Postecoglou has been scheduled for their worst goal since they were relegated by the best volutes in 1976-77.
Tottenham is without a victory in the last six championship games, losing five times in that sad series.
