Spurs out of relegation zone after vital win at Villa

Roberto De Zerbi's side took an early lead through Conor Gallagher's first goal since signing from Atletico Madrid in January. Villa boss Unai Emery fielded a weakened team prior to Thursday's Europa League semi-final against Nottingham Forest, allowing Tottenham to dominate as Richarlison bagged their second goal before half-time. Emiliano Buendia's goal with just seconds left was no consolation for woeful Villa. West Ham's defeat at Brentford on Saturday had presented Tottenham with a lifeline in the relegation battle.
