Tottenham thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 on Sunday.
Few foresaw Spurs dishing out a 4-0 thrashing, with James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Son Heung-min and Timo Werner all getting on the scoresheet.The victory moved Postecoglou's side to within two points of Unai Emery's Villa having played one game less.
Defeat not only took the race for the Champions League out of Villa's hands, but it also ended an impressive record held by manager Emery. The Spaniard had never previously lost a league game against Spurs, winning four of his previous six meetings and drawing twice.Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte and Ryan Mason all failed to guide Spurs to Premier League victories against Arsenal and Villa sides managed by Emery, meaning Postecoglou is the first man to achieve the feat.
