Nunez scored as Uruguay defeated Argentina, masterminded by Marcelo Bielsa, in Buenos Aires, but even that pales beside Diaz’s towering headed double against Brazil in Colombia’s 2-1 win. Pedro Porro has assisted six goals in the Premier League. The only defenders with more assists in the competition than the Spaniard since his debut in February are Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kieran Trippier (both nine).
He is really smart in his positioning and gets himself in the way of the ball. He has such a big frame that he doesn’t have to do a lot sometimes when he gets in the right position." Leon Bailey opened the scoring in the seventh minute when he broke clear of the defence before arrowing a low shot beyond David de Gea. That initially appeared to mark the end of his time at the club, but Ronaldo has been gradually reintroduced by Ten Hag, who challenged the Portugal international to lead by example on Sunday. Mike: It’s easy to forget in all the excitement of where we are in the table relative to just before Unai Emery arrived, but take a moment to imagine the table without five goals shipped at Newcastle on matchday 1. We’d be top by a point.
In August, Villa will play in a Europa Conference League play-off aiming to emulate West Ham - who won this season's competition by beating Fiorentina 2-1 in the final on Wednesday. They will discover their play-off opponents later in the summer. Brighton thought they had scored when Deniz Undav volleyed in, but Julio Enciso was adjudged by the video assistant referee to have been offside in the build-up. Emery's impact was immediately clear as his side played with a pace and dynamism that pulled Manchester United apart. I think they got away with it a little bit," Ogden said. "In the first 10 minutes it could have been 3-0 to Tottenham and they missed so many chances. We were unhappy with our start to the season, more the way we played than the results. Today showed we had plenty more gears to go up.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery to MOTD: "It was a very tough match. Amazing the way we played for ninety minutes. For two sides - they were taking chances we were taking chances as well. Then we tried to be efficient, be consistent with our game plan. Sometimes the offside was very tight with VAR. Steve: Could have been 5-2 at half-time. Villa just not owning the middle of the park. Big changes by Emery. All of a sudden, Bailey looked a threat and Spurs got tired chasing. In the end, Villa's second-half performance won them the match. Well, if they get any kind of positive result against Arsenal and/or Manchester City at Villa Park in the next fortnight, then expect Villa supporters to say, increasingly loudly: "It's game on!"
De Zerbi faces a summer during which Mac Allister and a number of the club's other highly rated players - such as Moises Caicedo, Kaoru Mitoma and teenagers Enciso, Facundo Buonanotte and Evan Ferguson - will have admirers. Former Premier League goalkeeper Asmir Begovic says Emiliano Martinez has played a key role in Aston Villa's success this season. I interviewed Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou this week and he came across really well. He has a process he believes in and it has brought him a lot of success. If Diaz scores the winner against City to take Liverpool to the top of the league, just get in touch with Hollywood at the final whistle for the film rights, though they will think it all a bit far-fetched. We know realistically they won’t be there at the end challenging for the title, but at this moment why not dream and think this can happen?"
What made this more special for Villa's supporters was the knowledge this was something they could not have contemplated a few months ago. This week, he takes on Barry Can't Swim, aka DJ and producer Joshua Mannie - who is an Everton fan. Faltering Newcastle face a revived Chelsea. Last month this would have been considered a home banker for Eddie Howe, not now. Tottenham are only the third team in English top-flight history to go unbeaten across their first 10 games of a season, and then lose their next three games, after Huddersfield Town in 1924-25 and Sheffield United in 1971-72. He can rub people the wrong way but his performances speak for themselves," Begovic said. "He’s been really solid and taken his game to a new level. He really kept his team in the game and made some big saves [against Tottenham] at crucial times, which is what top goalkeepers do.The final whistle prompted players to hug each other while Emery and his coaching staff did likewise amid incredible noise from the home fans. Villa are expected to have a busy summer as Unai Emery looks to bring in signings of his own. The club have already been linked with several potential signings, with the latest being Southampton's Armel Bella-Kotchap. Villa just a couple of years ago were not in the best of positions and in the Championship. Now to be in this position with Unai Emery leading the charge, they are really cementing themselves a top six or seven side and that is incredible for them. Tottenham are only the fifth side in Premier League history to lose three consecutive games despite opening the scoring in each match, and first since Leicester City in December 2014, whose third game was also against Aston Villa.
Everton v Manchester United would have been hard to call, but what sort of reaction will you get from Sean Dyche’s men and the furious fans at Goodison after that 10-point deduction. There will be no need to lift the players, they will have had raw meat for breakfast. If United arrive unready for the battle, they might as well turn the coach round before they get off the M62 motorway. Aston Villa will end a day in the Premier League’s top four positions at least 13 games into a season for the first time since December 27th 2009. There were some encouraging signs that the former Tottenham manager's approach is starting to pay off here, despite a third consecutive WSL defeat. Steven Gerrard paid the price for a disappointing start to the season, but Villa wasted no time in bringing in his replacement.
