Jude Bellingham and Ryan Sessegnon left blown away by £40m Tottenham player against Villa yesterday

Both Jude Bellingham and Ryan Sessegnon were simply amazed by one Tottenham Hotspur player against Aston Villa yesterday.

It was a day that will live long in the memory for Ange Postecoglou and his Spurs team who took the initiative in the race for fourth.

The Tottenham manager did have a couple of selection decisions to make before the game, but it seems he got each and every one correct.

Pape Matar Sarr was outstanding in the middle in place of Rodrigo Bentancur, making a real difference with his runs in behind.

And whilst it may have seemed harsh to drop Timo Werner after his energetic display against Crystal Palace, Postecoglou was also right to trust Brennan Johnson.

It truly did all come together at the right time for Spurs, who will now head into the ‘business end’ of the season full of confidence.

That being said, James Maddison also delivered a strong display for Tottenham against Villa yesterday.

And whilst he perhaps wasn’t quite at his creative best, he did score the opening goal which was always going to be so important.

Following the game Maddison took to Instagram to celebrate the win and his individual moment.

And as you may expect, there was a host of teammates and familiar names waiting to congratulate Tottenham’s £40m-man.

Both Jude Bellingham and Ryan Sessegnon were among the first names to join Maddison in his trademark darts celebration.

And even though Spurs’ heads will already be turning to an away trip at Fulham next weekend, they will still be enjoying the fallout from a pretty incredible 4-0 win.


Many felt as if Tottenham would have been hoping to salvage a draw at Villa yesterday, but Postecoglou’s side proved their rich belief and ambition.

And although some will try to point to the John McGinn red card as the turning point, it did feel as if Spurs already had the game won.

The likes of Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski were in pretty devastating mood, and showed no willingness to take things easy once the game was won – something that will please Postecoglou to no end.

It was a great day for all connected with Tottenham, and one player did prove just how underrated he really is.
