Spurs are seven points behind Aston Villa in the Premier League table, and even though they have a game in hand, it just seems unlikely that they will be able to leapfrog Unai Emery’s side.
Heung-min Son, as you would expect, was not a happy man after Tottenham’s defeat at Liverpool yesterday.
That made the attacker the first player in the history of the Premier League to score four consecutive times against Liverpool at Anfield.
It really is a fantastic achievement.

Tottenham have three games left in the Premier League this season, while Aston Villa only have two.
Spurs face Burnley next before welcoming Manchester City in a game that could decide who wins the Premier League title this season.
Aston Villa‘s remaining games are against Liverpool at home and Crystal Palace away.
For Tottenham to leapfrog Villa to fourth in the table, they have to hope that Unai Emery‘s men will drop points in both of their games.
One win in their final two games will guarantee fourth spot for the Villans, even if Tottenham end up winning all of their remaining games.
However, a loss and a draw or two defeats for Villa in their next two games will open the door for Tottenham to pip them – but Spurs will need three wins out of three then.
As things stand, top-four is looking very unlikely for Spurs, but football is a funny game and anything can still happen.
