Tottenham have been knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa after conceding the opening goal within the first two minutes following an error by Antonin Kinsky.
Jacob Ramsey went through on the left-hand side of the area and sent a strike towards goal, with the Spurs goalkeeper fumbling the effort before it hit the back of the net.
Tottenham had chances to get back into the FA Cup fourth-round tie, but Morgan Rogers put Villa two goals ahead after 64 minutes.
Kinsky did, however, make a number of saves to keep Spurs in the game following his earlier error
Mathys Tel grabbed his first goal for the club in injury time after joining on loan from Bayern Munich in the January transfer window.
But Ange Postecoglou’s side were unable to find an equaliser to keep their FA Cup hopes alive.
Tottenham fans slam Antonin Kinsky after Aston Villa defeat
Tottenham fans were far from impressed with Kinsky following his mistake for the opening goal.
The 21-year-old has had a mixed opening month in north London since joining from Slavia Prague for £12.5million in early January.
The Czech goalkeeper made five saves throughout the game at Villa Park, four of which were from efforts inside the box.
But it wasn’t enough to prevent Spurs fans from criticising Kinsky, with one supporter labelling him as “absolutely useless”.
