So far, so good for Villa in stoppage time; they are keeping possession and toying with Spurs at times.
90' +3
J. Philogene enters the game and replaces B. Traoré.
One final change for Villa as Traore makes way for Philogene-Bidace.
90' +1
J. McGinn gets yellow.

Six minutes of stoppage to come...

C. Chukwuemeka enters the game and replaces M. Nakamba.
Smith tries to freshen up his midfield as Chukwuemeka replaces Nakamba.
87'
Spurs are not doing enough here if they want to secure a draw. They seem to be going down with a whimper rather than a fight. Apart from Kane's shot at Martinez, they have not tested Villa in the last 20 minutes.
83'
M. Doherty enters the game and replaces J. Tanganga.
As expected, Tanganga's night is over, with Doherty on for the final seven minutes.

72'
G. Bale enters the game and replaces S. Bergwijn.
Mason makes his first change as Bale replaces Bergwijn.
70'
Bale has completed his warm-up, and he is being told to get ready. Can the Welshman save Spurs in the next 20 minutes?
67'
Alli goes down in the box and appeals for a penalty after being smothered by two Villa players, but he is told to get to his feet by referee Craig Pawson.
62'
Mason and Smith have yet to turn to their benches, but surely the former is considering a change? His side still trails 2-1, and we have just over 20 minutes remaining.
59'
Villa have an injury to worry about as Konsa goes down holding his hamstring, but he turns down the chance to have treatment.
56'
Smith might look to his bench shortly, with his side currently unable to get out of their own half.
54'
Whatever Mason said to his players at the break, it worked. Or maybe it was the booing from the fans? Spurs have come out firing so far in the early stages of the second half.
47'
BLOCK! Alderweireld keeps the score at 2-1 as he gets in the way of a cross from El Ghazi, which looked destined for Watkins at the far post.
46'
We are back underway!

HALF-TIME - TOTTENHAM 1-2 ASTON VILLA.
45'
Three minutes of stoppage time to come at the end of the first half.
43'
P. Højbjerg gets yellow.
Hojbjerg looks OK to continue after being checked over by the physio, but he is still shown a card after chopping down Grealish in midfield.
41'
Spurs now have an injury worry to think about as Hojbjerg goes down holding his knee after a challenge on Grealish.
39'
O. Watkins has scored a goal for Aston Villa! Assist by B. Traoré.
GOAAALLLLLL - TOTTENHAM 1-2 ASTON VILLA - Watkins fires Villa into the lead after more poor defending from Spurs. Reguilon played his side into trouble with a risky pass on the edge of the box, and Traore was able to turn it towards Watkins in a flash. The Villa striker headed the ball into the floor and held off Dier before blasting the ball into the bottom corner. What a comeback from Villa!
Traore did not know too much about the pass to Watkins, but his little flick inside was effective, and it allowed Watkins to run onto the ball.
38'
Grealish wins Villa a free-kick, but Dean Smith's side fail to take their chance as Konsa heads over the bar.
36'
McGinn received treatment on the field of play, and he looks like he wants to continue in what is a huge boost for the visitors.
33'
OVER! McGinn thrashes a shot over the crossbar from long range, but Spurs took a considerable risk there, letting the Scotland international try his luck.
30'
While Grealish has grown into the game, the same cannot be said of Kane. The England ace has not had the chance to test Martinez inside the first 30 minutes.
26'
CLOSE! Grealish is warming into this contest, and he forces a save out of Lloris from the edge of the box. The Villa skipper did not get enough power on his strike to trouble the Frenchman, but it was still a warning to the hosts.
23'
Spurs striker Kane is trying to win the Golden Boot this season, and he would have been proud of that effort from Reguilon.
20'
Sergio Reguilón is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOAAAALLL - TOTTENHAM 1-1 ASTON VILLA - Villa are back on level terms after a horrible own goal from Reguilon. The Spurs left-back tried to clear a simple cross from Nakamba, but he was off-balance, and he has ended up volleying the ball past Lloris, who had no time to react. Disastrous moment for the Spurs left-back!
18'
Grealish finally comes alive after picking up possession on the edge of the box, but sadly for Villa, he could only shoot wide of the target.
17'
It remains 1-0 to Spurs, but Watkins nearly changed the scoreline in Villa's favour after finding himself in a good position. The Villa striker ended up shooting wide of the target, but the home side gave him too much space.
15'
Villa fans will be delighted to have Grealish back in the starting XI. However, he has barely had a touch of the ball inside the first 15 minutes.
12'
Villa's bench has gone wild after Lloris brought down Watkins in the box. The Villa striker was chasing a long ball, but Lloris took out Watkins before the ball bounced out for a goal-kick. VAR has checked the incident, and the game continues!
10'
As it stands, Spurs have moved to within one point of Liverpool, but don't forget the Reds do not play until later this evening.
8'
S. Bergwijn has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur!
GOAAAALLLL - TOTTENHAM 1-0 ASTON VILLA - WHAT A STRIKE!!! Bergwijn opens the scoring, and the home fans go wild as they finally get to celebrate a Spurs goal inside the stadium. The winger did all the work himself as he snatched the ball off Nakamba before charging into the box and drilling his shot into the top corner.
5'
Spurs have made the better start out of the two sides, but they have yet to force Martinez into making a save.
2'
Spurs win the first free-kick of the match as Mings makes a clumsy challenge in midfield near the halfway line.

We are underway!
Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League contest between Tottenham and Aston Villa. Spurs will look to consolidate their hold on sixth spot, while Villa will be hoping to stop their winless run after going three matches without success.
Spurs cannot finish in the top four in this campaign, but interim coach Ryan Mason will be doing all he can to ensure the club will play in the Europa League next season. Dean Smith's Aston Villa have slipped down the table in recent months, and they will be playing for pride when they take to the field in north London.
Spurs have been in decent form of late, losing only one of their previous five matches in the Premier League. On the other hand, Villa are struggling with only one success in their last seven games.
SUBS: Lucas Moura, Matt Doherty, Joe Hart, Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele, Serge Aurier, Erik Lamela, Gareth Bale, Davinson Sanchez.
TOTTENHAM (4-2-3-1): Hugo Lloris; Japhet Tanganga, Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier, Sergio Reguilon; Harry Winks, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg; Steven Bergwijn, Dele Alli, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane.
ASTON VILLA (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martínez; Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Kortney Hause, Matt Targett; John McGinn, Marvelous Nakamba; Bertrand Traore, Jack Grealish, Anwar El Ghazi; Ollie Watkins.
SUBS: Neil Taylor, Ahmed El Mohamady, Jed Steer, Douglas Luiz, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley, Ross Barkley, Jaden Philogene-Bidace, Jacob Ramsey.
The two sides are out on the field of play, and we are moments away from kick-off.
This is relatively new territory for the Spurs squad. It has been months since they were last criticised for their performance by their own supporters. Mason is also learning on the job, and he will need to get more out of his team if they are to prevail this evening. Villa will be trying to frustrate them for the rest of the match, and they also have the ability to counter-attack them with ease.
That is all for now folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
Spurs were booed off at the interval and at full-time, and that is a disappointing way to end the season on home soil. Kane's future continues to dominate the headlines, but that could be his last game in north London for Spurs. Sadly, his team deserved to lose, and they will need to regroup ahead of the final day. Spurs travel to top-four chasing Leicester City, while Villa welcome Chelsea to Goodison Park.
