Flimsy, flawed and out of two cups in a week - Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou are nearing an inevitable end Aston Villa 2-1 Tottenham: Unai Emery’s Villa booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup to pile the pressure on Postecoglou.

Cast out of the Carabao Cup by Liverpool, Tottenham were ejected from the FA Cup by Villa, conceding six goals in four days.
Kinsky has had a decidedly mixed start to life in the Spurs goal but had redemption of sorts after the opener with two fine saves from a rampant Bailey, with Ramsey striking the outside of the post after the latter.
