PLAYER RATINGS: Destiny Udogie dazzles in defence and could be one of Tottenham's best signings, while John McGinn's red card killed Aston Villa's hopes of rescuing the match... as one £25m star underwhelms in defence

Ange Postecoglou's side stunned a 10-man Aston Villa side on Sunday afternoon at Villa Park, with all of James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Son Heung-min and Timo Werner scoring to seal a huge 4-0 victory.

It means Spurs have made up ground on Unai Emery's side in the Premier League, with Villa now only two points clear of Tottenham in fourth place, as the race to qualify for the Champions League heats up.

After going 2-0 down, things went from bad to worse for the home side, with their captain, John McGinn, chopping down Spurs full-back Destiny Udogie in a brutal tackle that earned him a red card.
