Tottenham's performance at Aston Villa didn't receive the credit it deserved.
Yes, Villa were poor. Yes, they looked miles off their usual levels. But what Spurs produced in that environment, under that pressure, was seriously impressive.
For a team with confidence on the floor and relegation danger hanging over them, to go to Villa Park and execute Roberto De Zerbi's demanding style with that level of bravery and aggression was extraordinary.
The control they established was the real eye-opener.
Villa didn't register a shot until the 61st minute and had just one touch in the Spurs penalty area before then. That's not smash-and-grab football or chaotic counter-attacking. That's complete territorial domination - the kind of control usually associated with Manchester City or Arsenal when they're at their suffocating best.
If they reproduce anything close to that level here, Leeds could get overwhelmed quickly.
The market certainly expects another strong showing with Spurs available at 4/5 with Sky Bet and it's difficult to argue against that price if the psychological corner has genuinely been turned.
