Villa sink Spurs to bolster bid to reach Champions League

Unai Emery's side had no margin for error at Villa Park as the race for top five places approaches a dramatic conclusion. Second-half goals from Ezri Konsa and Boubacar Kamara ensured Villa's battle to play in Europe's elite club competition will go down to the last day of the season. Fourth-placed Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Friday means Villa still need sixth-placed Manchester City -- one point behind Emery's men -- to lose against Bournemouth in their game in hand on Tuesday to be in control of their own destiny.
