Villa 0-2 Spurs - the key stats

Sun 13 March 2016, 18:00|Tottenham Hotspur

The stats that mattered from our 2-0 win at Villa Park on Sunday.

As it stands - the win moved us to within two points of leaders Leicester City, who play Newcastle at home on Monday night. We're now six points clear of Arsenal and seven ahead of City, although both have a game in hand.

Harry on target - Harry Kane has four goals in three Premier League starts against Villa - his double took him to 19 in the Premier League, level with Leicester's Jamie Vardy.
