De Zerbi slams Spurs after Villa defeat as slump widens
Tottenham fell 3-2 to Aston Villa as manager Roberto De Zerbi openly criticized his players for poor mentality, conditioning, and balance, citing Kudus’ substitution as disruptive. Spurs head into the three‑week international break without a league win and with only two points. De Zerbi said he didn’t speak to the players after the game, while Villa boss Unai Emery praised his side’s resilience and approach that earned the victory.
