Roy Keane was less than impressed with Tottenham’s defending for Aston Villa’s second goal on Sunday.
Spurs fell to their third-straight defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the away side coming from a goal down to win 2-1, owing to goals from Pau Torres and Ollie Watkins in either half.
It was a game of many chances for both sides, with the bulk of the scoring opportunities falling to the home team. However, Tottenham were let down by some poor finishing while Son Heung-min also had a hat-trick of goals chalked off for offside.
In the end, the Lilywhites only have themselves to blame for failing to make the most of their opportunities, but Ange Postecoglou was quite complimentary of his players after the full-time whistle.
The Australian insisted that despite missing so many important players, the performance his side delivered was up with their best of the season so far, adding that they should be able to come out of their current slump if they keep delivering similar displays (Football.London).

Roy Keane was not happy with Tottenham defending
However, Keane was quite critical of Tottenham’s sloppiness at the back, describing their defending as ‘Spursy’.
The Man Utd legend told Sky Sports (16:05 – 26/11/23) about Watkins’ match-winner: “Lovely goal from Villa, lovely finish, but defensively from Spurs, woah, really…. Spursy.”
Spurs Web Opinion
While the defending for Villa’s second goal did leave a lot to be desired, it is worth remembering that we were playing with a makeshift centre-back pairing.
Generally, I thought Emerson and Davies coped well with Villa’s threat on the counter-attack. It was our slopiness on the other end of the pitch that cost us as we should have scored at least four goals yesterday.
