Kane ran into Emi after turning the ball away from him. In today's game that will be a pen. Kane or no Kane. 

Didn’t Watkins get a yellow for simulation doing the exact thing either last year or the year before?

Apparently we hadn't beaten Spurs at home since 2008 (is that right?)

Also six home wins in a row, first time in 30 years.

Incredible performance from konsa and Mings and the two full backs, 5 offsides. 

[The_Steve]

So, if the officials accept that he's not offside, where was the replay? No transparency at all.

That dive and the disgraceful refereeing has left me in the weird state of being pissed off even though we’ve just done the double over spurs. We should have had a clean sheet, but we were robbed of it. 

Same. If not for Luiz’s excellent free kick we’d have been shafted there

[Annoyman]

Not up to the same standard as the Newcastle game in the second half, but they showed good character to get the second goal after finally being put under a period of pressure. Luiz didn't have his best game but showed really good technique to get it over the wall and down

McGinn was incredible today, a joy to watch when he turns into space and drives forward. Was worried about discipline after the early yellow but he maintained his intensity without ever walking the tightrope after that.

Reiterating that this has been Mings' best season for us, he's adapted to playing the ball out from the back extremely well and while he's not error-free, the talking point that he has one major dropped bollock in every game has slowly receded out of existence afaik

The challenge for the pen was a clear pen, but yeah it's just why the offside aspect of the check was announced as complete with no transparency after the single replay showed him looking off. Thankfully every other one of their attacks was visibly, hilariously two yards off. Match of the Day might clear it up if they can be arsed

Hopefully goal difference doesn't come into it at the end of the season, still a lot to do.

Let's not let the penalty decision cloud what was a superb performance from us, we had some moments of uncertainty for their chances, the few they had, that we gave to them.

We controlled large sections of the game and another day we could have scored at least another goal if not 2.

Mings my motm but Moreno, Konsa and McGinn all had good games, not to mention Ramsey.

On the ref........Martinez  never got a touch and Kane did, not sure if he was offside but it was a close call, if he was onside then its a penalty.  The ref however constantly ignored Spurs fouling us and punished us when we returned the favour, McGinns yellow was bizarre as spurs had just committed a similar foul that went completely unpunished.

The linesman was horrendous,  he was letting play go on for minutes after clear offsides and then flagging, they wasn't even close decisions. 

Fantastic result, Emery is the 2nd coming. 

[Xela]

Just glad we beat the words removed. 

Well done Villa

[foreveryoung]

Can't stop thinking if we got that win against Wolves also, we would be in a prime position for Europe, damm the dog heads!!!

They did spend a while checking the offside on my feed, though didn’t show the lines. 

If only they'd took so long over the blatant penalty we should have had first half when Emerson Royal two footed Ollie

What you talking about? Martinez never touched it. It was a pretty clear cut penalty. 

It was a pretty clear offside but no lines shown of course. On my perfectly legal US stream it clearly shows him offside 

[fightoffyour]

Just put the end of the national league play off final on. A guy goes down holding his head, the commentator is saying “get up, you’re embarrassing yourself”.

Kane does this and he gets praised.

[The_Steve]

We had 8 minutes of stoppage time in the end. Utter corruption.

When are we ever going to get a penalty? We've had what, three all season?

Had very strong shouts for one about 4 matches running. No way Salah or Kane or Fernandes doesn't get a penalty for that tackle against Ollie in the first half.

Last minute of the Brighton game hopefully

[robby b]

   Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy? Did we just beat Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park?! 

[fightoffyour]

This is the point at which contact occurred. Someone wants to explain why his legs have buckled like that?

[SuperTed]

If anyone can find a still of Kane in the buildup to the penalty showing if he was on or off, I’d appreciate it

Probably no where to be found anywhere, but you know!
