Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, Roberto De Zerbi, expressed greater satisfaction with his team’s performance in their victory over Aston Villa than with the three crucial points secured. The win at Aston Villa propelled Spurs out of the relegation zone with just three Premier League matches remaining.
De Zerbi believes the nature of this triumph will significantly boost his squad’s confidence in their ability to avoid relegation.
Tottenham, who are set to host Leeds next Monday, now sit one point ahead of West Ham and two points behind Nottingham Forest. Forest still have a game in hand, which will be played against Chelsea on Monday.
First-half goals from Conor Gallagher and Richarlison were enough to secure Tottenham’s second consecutive win, a feat they had not achieved since August. Aston Villa managed a consolation goal in the 96th minute through Emiliano Buendía, marking their only shot on target throughout the match.
