Emery ‘to get Postecoglou fired’ as sack odds revealed after Aston Villa scenes
Unai Emery might have just sealed Ange Postecoglou‘s fate at Tottenham after Aston Villa claimed a famous win at Villa Park on Sunday.
The Villans got off to an incredible start, with Jacob Ramsey’s shot firing past Antonin Kinsky and into the back of the net after just two minutes, benefitting from the first meaningful attack.
Morgan Rogers doubled their lead in the FA Cup semi-final on 9 February, sending Villa Park into pandemonium, with Mathys Tel’s goal in added time only a consolation for the visitors.
Spurs have often been triumphant against Villa in recent history, winning back-to-back Premier League matches 4-0 and 4-1, but Emery’s side were too much for Spurs to handle.
