Aston Villa boss Unai Emery played down his side’s Champions League credentials despite thrashing West Ham boxing

Villa are just two points off Premier League pacesetters Manchester City and Arsenal following Sunday’s 4-1 win boxing

Douglas Luiz’s double and clinical finishes from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey ended Villa’s Hammers hoodoo, for their first victory over West Ham since 2015 boxing

They returned to fifth spot, just a point adrift of the top four, with games against Luton, Nottingham Forest and Fulham coming up next boxing

“There are seven teams contending boxing

We are after seven teams; Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle,” said Emery, with fifth potentially offering a Champions League place this term boxing

“Dream, always boxing

My dream is to win the Champions League but now we are fifth and we are going to face each match trying to get a good performance boxing

“It’s 38 matches and we lost at Newcastle, we lost at Liverpool boxing

They are matches we are not going to play again boxing

“I prefer to speak about the matches we won but I have to speak about the matches we lost boxing

This is the balance boxing

We have to be very demanding boxing

“In the table West Ham were two points behind us and the level we have now, they have as well boxing

It was very important boxing

“The process is going in the right way, it’s going to be difficult boxing

In the end we won 4-1 boxing

”Luiz had already tested Alphonse Areola from distance before opening the scoring after half an hour, firing in from the edge of the box after good work by Nicolo Zaniolo and Watkins boxing

Six minutes after the break Villa were gifted a second when Lucas Paqueta sold Edson Alvarez short and he brought down Ezri Konsa for Luiz to convert from the spot boxing

But Jarrod Bowen grabbed a lifeline for the Hammers soon after when his shot hit Pau Torres to creep into the corner boxing

The visitors sensed a recovery, Matty Cash heading over Nayef Aguerd’s shot, but with 16 minutes left Watkins ended any ideas of a comeback boxing

He latched onto John McGinn’s long ball, skipped past Kurt Zouma and lashed into the roof of the net boxing

There was still time for Bailey to get in on the act in the final minute, beating Areola from six yards after giving Aguerd the slip boxing

It was just West Ham’s third league defeat of the season, leaving manager David Moyes frustrated boxing

“I’m not having my teams losing four goals as soft as we did today boxing

There were things which I can say we did quite well but I didn’t think we were hard enough to play against,” said Moyes, whose side are now ninth boxing

“Today wasn’t so good boxing

More importantly nearly every ball we played around the box was the wrong decision and it led to us hardly creating enough opportunity to score boxing

“The lads kept on fighting and it looked like we were the team in ascendancy at 2-1 but they punished us really quickly and that took the game beyond our reach boxing

“Villa are probably just behind the top three or four in the Premier League and today was a challenge to see what level we were at and I thought we fell below that boxing

“It was a very close first half, we missed opportunities to score boxing

We had opportunities to make chances to score and that was the bit bugging me at half-time boxing

Something is different at Tottenham: check the table, they are top and playing like league leaders as well boxing

Ange Postecoglou’s side returned there after confidently asserting their superiority over Fulham in this comfortable 2-0 win in north London boxing

Tottenham extended their best start to a season since 1960 with a helping hand from the visitors, who were hapless, and Calvin Bassey, who was culpable for both goals and fortunate it wasn’t more boxing

Spurs, in essence, scored the same goal twice, with Bassey giving away possession with a loose pass into midfield and the hosts sharply intercepting on the halfway line boxing

Son dispatched the first on 36 minutes after dancing past Bassey and curling into the top corner; then Son set up James Maddison to double their lead shortly after half-time boxing

The finish, again, was ruthless boxing

Spurs could have been out of sight long before then had Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski been as clinical, but a seventh victory out of nine so far in the Premier League never felt in doubt after Son continued his own excellent start to the campaign boxing

Spurs enjoyed periods of control and flowed forward dangerously boxing

There was, significantly, a sense that Tottenham’s players were enjoying this boxing

Clearly, that is now mirrored in the stands as well: if Postecoglou has arrived and convinced Tottenham they can be something new, his team have chosen to be fun and carefree boxing

It is not surprising, therefore, that that spirit has been brought by those who did not play here under Antonio Conte or Nuno Espirito Santo or Jose Mourinho, and who embody the fresh start that Postecoglou has been able to make boxing

The Australian’s four summer signings who started against Fulham, in Maddison, Van de Ven, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie, were all outstanding again boxing

If Postecoglou’s presence has lifted Spurs, they are the ones who carry his message onto the pitch boxing

Maddison’s quality is obvious in every touch, as is the idea that he has taken responsibility to drag Tottenham out of the existential crisis they faced here last season boxing

The centre-back Van de Ven has become an unlikely fan favourite, bringing an energy and enthusiasm into every defensive action boxing

Tottenham’s opening goal would not have been scored without his interception and it was an illustration of why the Dutch defender has become so appealing to the fans here: he wants this, and he’s doing it for you boxing

Micky van de Ven won a crucial challenge for the opening Tottenham goal (Reuters)Add in the quality that was already here and this Tottenham side has the makings of something exciting: how good this team really is remains to be seen, but another remarkable aspect of the transformation under Postecoglou is how those who appeared beaten and washed out last season have been revived boxing

Son is devastating again, Kulusevski threatening with every touch, his dribble returning to such a fine, gliding motion boxing

Perhaps most extraordinarily of all, Cristian Romero has emerged as the calm head guiding the defence boxing

Yet in the first half, it was Udogie who shined brightest in spells, the 20-year-old a fearless example of what Tottenham are now all about boxing

In his hybrid role from full-back, the Italian is already becoming vital to this attacking, dangerous Spurs, often playing further forward then Maddison when Postecoglou’s side have possession boxing

Destiny Udogie impressed with his hybrid role (Getty Images)Udogie, with his ability to receive the ball with back to goal, absorb pressure, and then shrug it off like a discarded cloak, offered a threat that Fulham struggled to pin down – the visitors breathed a sigh of relief when he was removed as Tottenham went 2-0 up boxing

Udogie went off to a standing ovation boxing

Son turned and beckoned for more boxing

Meanwhile, there is Vicario, who looks as if he won’t concede a goal ever again boxing

Already with the best save percentage in the Premier League before Monday night, the Italian has stepped in to give Tottenham a secure and reassuring presence boxing

The goalkeeper appears built to handle the nervy moments that invariably come with playing for Tottenham, a part that Hugo Lloris, for all his years here, never felt quite fit for boxing

Guglielmo Vicario has settled quickly as Tottenham’s No 1 (Getty Images)Because for all that Tottenham were dominant against Fulham and the only team who ever looked capable of winning, there have previously been times where such a script has gone wildly off course boxing

On 12 minutes, Vicario was there with an excellent leap and strong left arm to deny Palhinha’s free header, in what was the visitors’ first attack boxing

It was a moment that came after a spell of overwhelming Tottenham dominance, and therefore a natural point for them to concede boxing

But Fulham barely threatened again until it was too late boxing

Silva’s side were a mess at the back, the absence of Issa Diop at the back compounded by Bassey’s woefully inaccurate performance boxing

Fulham teased Tottenham with their reckless play into midfield: it may have worked in the past, against a passive Spurs, but Van de Ven, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the excellent Pape Matar Sarr snapped into challenges and from there Fulham leaked chances like a sieve boxing

And so, Postecoglou’s different Spurs left the Premier League table looking as it did at the start of the weekend: Tottenham are back at the top and looking down boxing
