Tottenham was worthy of winning

The team needs to take the positives and improve

According to reports, Aston Villa manager Dean Smith stated that the team needs to take the positives out of the match. He said in the last two matches they have scored last-minute winners and are aware of how it feels to lose by such a narrow margin. He said that Tottenham had an attack that has the capability to tear through defences, adding that is why his team defended during the match.

Dean Smith said that they probably gave away too many chances and that is why Tottenham was able to launch a counter-attack, adding that they didn't deserve to lose the match. He said that it was a good match against the 5th best team in the league but they deserved more than that.
