Premier League Tottenham vs Aston Villa: Aston Villa came back from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 and cause a major blow to their European dreams. All the 3 goals came in the 1st half.
Mason made 2 changes to the team that beat Wolves as he brought in Bergwijn and Harry Winks in place of Gareth Bale and Lo Celso.
Villa captain Grealish made his first start since Feb. He is joined by Mings and Nakamba.
Tottenham Hotspur’s European hopes were dealt a huge blow as their final Premier League home game of the season ended in a 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa on Wednesday and striker Harry Kane perhaps waved farewell to the club’s fans.

England captain Kane’s uncertain future has left Spurs fans wearing a frown in the past week and their mood was hardly raised as a horrible own goal by Sergio Reguilon and an Ollie Watkins strike earned Villa the win.
Defeat left Tottenham in sixth place with 59 points, the same as West Ham United, who were playing relegated West Bromwich Albion later, and Everton.

After the final whistle, Kane walked slowly around each side of the pitch, receiving warm applause from fans, a few of whom waved goodbye.
“I’m very disappointed. It wasn’t how we wanted to finish the season at home in front of our fans,” Mason said.
“There are so many emotions in football. Yes, a lot has been going on but our aim is to get results on the pitch, and unfortunately, we didn’t do that.“
