@espenstrand The first goal I understand, it hit the camera but the disallowed goal was a foul on the England defender. Harlan clearly shoves Anderson.
Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur went into the final week of the 2018-19 season on different footballing planets.
A 10-game winning streak took Villa from the bottom half of the Championship table and into the play-offs, and the clubโs destiny essentially came down to their final game.
After three seasons in English footballโs second tier, Villa invested heavily to secure promotion and could have faced financial trouble had they failed to prevail over Derby County in the play-off final at Wembley on May 27. Tottenham were at their apex.
The team may not have been quite as good as a year or two before, but after the dramatic late comeback against Ajax in the Champions League semi-final second leg, the biggest game in the clubโs history and the chance to redefine their future awaited.
Heading into their final games of that season, the suggestion Villa would achieve parity with Spurs again any time soon, let alone surpass them within seven years, would have sounded ludicrous.
As it transpired, Villa won and Tottenham lost that week. Their fortunes have largely mirrored those results ever since.
