3. Villa Park Has Been Truly Good To Spurs Lately
This is Spurs' second win at Villa Park this season alone, following a 4-0 thrashing of the Midlands side in the League Cup there last month. Astonishingly, this result means that, over the course of Spurs' last three visits to Villa Park, they have an aggregate scoreline of 10-0, having also won by four clear goals without reply on Boxing Day of 2012 - a match in which Gareth Bale scored a 23 minute hat-trick. In the previous Premier League seasons, Spurs came away from Villa Park with a 1-1 draw (2011/12), a 2-1 victory (2010/11), a 1-1 draw (2009/10) and a 2-1 win (2008/09), meaning it was January 2008 (in the 2007/08 season) when Aston Villa last managed to beat Spurs at home in the Premier League. Spurs will be wanting to play at Villa Park every week if this keeps up!
