New Year, New Tottenham?

Tottenham face Aston Villa on new year's day at White Hart Lane. Spurs need to put on a performance and dominate the game, writes Martin Samuel. If they concede first, that stadium will be toxic - it is going to turn. It won't be as it was in April where Tottenham won four, they look Phillip Park. They just need to score first. Even if it comes off Sonny's backside and goes in the goal, then I think suddenly, psychologically, everything lifts.
