Villa beat Spurs to reach FA Cup fifth round for first time in ten years
Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey struck inside the first minute and Morgan Rogers added a second-half goal to secure a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park on Sunday, and lift their side into the FA Cup fifth round for the first time in 10 years.
Villa took 58 seconds to score when Rogers waltzed forward virtually unchallenged before sending the ball into Ramsey's path. The 23-year-old fired straight at Antonin Kinsky who got two hands on it but the ball slipped through them into the net.
Big Ange can't believe it 🤯

Rogers doubled the home side's lead in the 64th minute when Pedro Porro could not clear Leon Bailey's cross and Rogers was there to slot home the loose ball from close range.
Spurs' new signing Frenchman Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich pulled one back in the 91st minute when he flicked home Dejan Kulusevski's cross but the hosts held out to claim the victory.
One-touch Tel scores his first goal in Spurs colours 🤩🌟
