US EditionVilla's FA Cup Win at Spurs Leaves Frank on the Brink
Aston Villa secured their 13th win in 15 matches with two first-half goals, knocking Tottenham out of the FA Cup despite Spurs' late goal and second-half pressure.
- On January 10, 2026, Aston Villa defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, north London, to reach the FA Cup fourth round.
- Tottenham's fragile week saw off-field problems and injuries destabilise Spurs, including a high-profile cup gaffe and Richarlison's withdrawal, leading to a woeful first-half display.
- Emiliano Buendia's opener came when Donyell Malen's lay-off allowed him to score in the 22nd minute, Morgan Rogers doubled on half-time after Buendia's backheel, and Wilson Odobert reduced the deficit in the 54th minute from a Kolo Muani pass.
- The result increased scrutiny on Thomas Frank as Tottenham Hotspur suffered their earliest FA Cup exit since 2013-14, ending an 11-season run, while boos and a post-match clash left his position under threat.
- With this result, Aston Villa has won twice at Tottenham this season and remains competitive on three fronts, marking a 13th victory out of 15 under Unai Emery.
