Match Spurs v Villa Sunday 26 Nov 2pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Can't fault the effort yesterday. We created a lot of chances, controlled 75% of the game and had the ball in the net 4 times. Bentancur injury changed the game, they couldn't get near him. Cash's card is marked. He bottled that second half.

It's proof we're going in the right direction. Injuries have come at a bad time, paired with the run of fixtures, but theres over 20 games left, with a transfer window to come which I'm confident we'll add to the squad in.

I do fear for our season now though. That injury list is beyond anything anyone could imagine. We all knew the squad was bare, but no one would have thought that we'd have 11 out for 1 game.
It’s a long season. We were adrift of top 4 when Conte arrived and we made it. This year we only likely need top 5 too. We’re in a strong position, just need to keep pace until the guys are back in Jan.

If we’re within 4/5 points of 5th by the time we get players back I’d back us to get CL.

He's not challenging for the ball, Martinez is. Carlos is trying to prevent Gil from challenging Martinez. He's played the man, pure and simple, which is violent conduct.

INCIDENT: Bryan Gil goes down under Diego Carlos' challenge, with the Tottenham forward felled by Carlos' elbow. No foul was given on the field and VAR cleared the decision.

DERMOT'S VERDICT: Correct decision

DERMOT SAYS: It [VAR Jarred Gillet] cleared it. It looked and then looked again and just felt there was not enough there for a penalty or a red card.

It always looks worse when you have a tall player up against a smaller player like [Gil], but it was checked and they felt there was no offence.
