Villa win massive after Tottenham's 'embarrassing' week, says Kane

Tottenham were inconsolable following their Europa League debacle against Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday, but Sunday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa brought reprieve from a week Harry Kane called "embarrassing" and Hugo Lloris tabbed "disgraceful".

Spurs were much better at Villa Park than they had been in letting their 2-0 aggregate advantage against Zagreb slip away. Carlos Vinicius supplied the opener before Kane fired in from the spot to secure all three points.

The turnaround - "massively needed" in Kane's eyes - lifted Tottenham to sixth place in the Premier League, just three points behind fourth-place Chelsea.
