Unai Emery has spoken about the chat he had with Ange Postecoglou following his side’s win over Tottenham, admitting that he has been extremely impressed by what the Australian has brought to the Premier League.
The clash between Spurs and Villa was undoubtedly one of the most entertaining games of the Premier League season so far, with both teams playing a brave, high-risk style.
Both sides created plenty of chances throughout the game and in the end, it was Emery’s men who were more clinical in front of goal, edging out Tottenham 2-1.
However, it was undoubtedly a game of fine margins and the result could have been a lot different had Spurs kept their composure in the final third.

Postecoglou is popular with rival managers too
The Villa boss remarked after the game that he is a fan of Postecoglou and is fascinated by his unique tactical approach, admitting to wanting to learn more about those methods as a student of the game.
When asked about his chat with the Spurs boss after the final whistle, the Spanish coach said (via Birmingham World): “In football, when someone is coming in and adding tactically different ways, or tactically showing something in a really successful way, I appreciate it.
“As well, I usually want to analyse and understand. Ange is doing very good work, he’s amazing here. He did as well at Celtic and in Japan, and Australia. I appreciate a lot the coaches when they’re doing something like he’s doing.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Despite the result, I am even more convinced after that game that Postecoglou is the right man for us if we want to close the gap with the likes of Man City over the long term. Some of the football we played, despite missing so many key players, was an absolute joy to watch.
