Having been 2-0 down at the break, Spurs fought back in the second thanks to a Wilson Odobert goal, but could not find the equaliser they needed to force extra-time.

Spurs made a bright start, with Odobert looping a long-range shot straight at Marco Bizot before Mathys Tel sliced a volley well wide of the far post.

But 22 minutes in, Emiliano Buendia fired Villa in front. Donyell Malen held off two defenders to lay it off to the Argentinean, who rifled into the roof of the net.

Spurs thought they had pulled level in the 42nd minute, when Randal Kolo Muani, who replaced the injured Richarlison, turned in after a stunning Xavi Simons run, but the offside flag denied him.

Villa scored its second three minutes into first-half stoppage-time, when Buendia picked out Morgan Rogers with a backheel flick, and the Englishman beat Guglielmo Vicario from near the penalty spot.

Spurs improved after the break, and Kolo Muani's driving run opened the space for Odobert to cut inside from the right and drill his low shot into the bottom-left corner.

Pedro Porro then made a brilliant last-ditch block on the line to deny Buendia a second, while Simons had a 79th-minute equaliser disallowed after rounding the goalkeeper as he set off too early, with the defeat amplifying the pressure on Thomas Frank.
