Instead, there was realism from Emery, who said seven clubs have a better chance than Villa of finishing in the top four. Yet, while Watkins’ 12th goal of the season meant Villa set a club record of 22 Premier League wins in a calendar year, Emery refused to get carried away. After all it was Tielemans who played the pass when Ollie Watkins, who was keen to put a disappointing display for England behind him, scored the goal with which Villa took fourth place from Spurs and moved to within two points of the top of the table. Given a chance to regroup the Villa manager duly responded, Youri Tielemans and Leon Bailey replacing Moussa Diaby and Matty Cash, and the decisiveness was most evident when the winner arrived in the 61st minute. Postecoglou and Emery both thought of the missed chances. “Any other day we probably win comfortably,” Ange Postecoglou said.
