You've got to fight for your FA Cup, right, and Villa did it against Spurs

Things change, but one stays the same - when Tottenham and Aston Villa meet in the FA Cup at the Spurs' ground, the visitors win 2-1.

That was the case last season, that is the case this Saturday night as the Birmingham-based side celebrated a deserved triumph again.

Aston Villa turned the FA Cup into another courtroom for Thomas Frank, and Tottenham once again stood in the dock.

Unai Emery's side stormed into a two-goal lead before half-time through Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers, leaving Spurs whistled off by their own supporters and staring at yet another humiliation.

The second half brought a flicker of hope. Wilson Odobert drilled in to make it 2-1 and the stadium briefly believed. Spurs pushed, Dominic Solanke returned, and Villa wobbled. But belief was all it was.

Marco Bizot was rarely troubled and Rogers, Buendia and company always looked the sharper, calmer side.

When the final whistle blew, chaos followed. Players clashed, tempers flared, and Rogers' celebrations in front of the away end lit the fuse as Palhinha confronted him. But the real explosion had already happened: Spurs were out.

Two wins in 13 games and another early FA Cup exit. Frank's project is creaking, and even the special kit honouring 1901 could not disguise how ordinary Spurs looked against a Villa side that was simply better in every key moment.

Villa march on. Tottenham sink deeper into their crisis.
