Spurs climb out of the immediate relegation zone, defeating Aston Villa 2-1
- Conor Gallagher scores his first goal for Spurs with a low 20-yard drive
- Richarlison heads in second from Mathys Tel's cross to seal back-to-back wins
- Villa manager Unai Emery makes seven changes ahead of the Europa League semi-final second-leg tie
- Emi Buendia claims late consolation, but Villa remain in fifth place as Spurs move out of bottom three
Tottenham Hotspur moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with an outstanding victory at Aston Villa as new head coach Roberto de Zerbi's rescue mission gathered momentum.
West Ham United's defeat at Brentford on Saturday left the door ajar for Spurs to go above their rivals - and they stormed through it with arguably their finest performance of the season.
They made light of injuries to key forwards Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke in last weekend's victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers - their first in the league since 28 December - to establish a fully deserved two-goal lead at the interval against their fifth-placed hosts.
