Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa on Friday, May 16, 2025, during their Premier League fixture at Villa Park. This loss marks a difficult phase for Spurs as they currently sit 17th in the league table with 38 points, narrowly avoiding the relegation zone.
Aston Villa controlled much of the game, maintaining 69% possession and outshooting Tottenham 18 to 3. The home side opened the scoring in the 59th minute when Ezri Konsa converted a corner with a precise volley. Boubacar Kamara then secured the win by scoring the second goal in the 73rd minute.
Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, chose to rest several key players ahead of their upcoming Europa League final against Manchester United. Despite the absence of some regular starters, captain Son Heung-min, who recently returned from injury, participated in the match and showed glimpses of his usual form. Nevertheless, Spurs struggled to generate offensive opportunities and lacked the usual intensity throughout the match.
With the Premier League season drawing to a close, Tottenham now turn their focus to the Europa League final, hoping to end the campaign on a high by securing a trophy.
