You do not want to be in the bottom three. So it was a really important game but we had to work for it. In the first half we were poor, we showed nothing going forward. In the second half we stood tall and deserved our win.”“It’s a long international break, you don’t want to be in the bottom three”John McGinn on the ‘relief’ for Aston Villa to pick up their first league win of the season 😅🎙️ @lynseyhipgrave1 | 📺 Stream now on TNT Sports & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/Gl38uj1pig— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) September 19, 2026Roberto De Zerbi must use long break to reset SpursDe Zerbi will now have to make the most of the long break to get several of his players’ fitness back up before football returns.
