Aston Villa reached the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time in 10 years, inflicting defeat on a Tottenham side knocked out of a cup competition for the second time in three days.

A first-minute goal from Jacob Ramsey set the hosts on their way as Spurs were knocked out of a second cup of the week

It is extremely hard to believe that Aston Villa have not been in the hat for the fifth round draw of the FA Cup since 2015. But now they are there, they are looking like serious contenders to make it to Wembley with Liverpool,

Morgan Rogers had just scored Aston Villa’s second in the 2-1 FA Cup victory against Tottenham Hotspur and Villa’s players had gathered to the left of the Holte End, a cacophony encompassing them, but Emery remained fixated on preparing his two substitutes.

Aston Villa defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in a thrilling fourth round of the FA Cup. Jacob Ramsey scored an early goal for Villa in the first minute, taking advantage of a mistake by Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.

They no longer have that excuse, after falling away at Aston Villa 2-1. It was their second domestic cup loss in a week, and Spurs now have only the Premier League and the Europa League left to compete for.
