Aston Villa increased the pressure on under-fire Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank with a battling victory in their FA Cup third-round meeting.
The visitors established the platform for the success by taking a two-goal lead at half-time, with Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers on target.
Spurs, who lost Richarlison to a 31st-minute hamstring injury, improved vastly after the break and Wilson Odobert gave them hope when he pulled a goal back nine minutes after the restart.
But Villa held the hosts at bay to send the eight-time winners out, with ugly scenes at the final whistle as players from both sides clashed, Spurs players seemingly unhappy with Rogers' celebrations in front of the elated visiting support.
