Aston Villa booked their place in the FA Cup Fourth Round with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham, continuing their impressive run of results under head coach Unai Emery.
Tottenham captain Cristian Romero will sit out Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie against Aston Villa after being handed an additional one-match suspension by the Football Association.
Cristian Romero has aimed a pointed criticism at Tottenham's hierarchy in the wake of another damaging 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth on Wednesday.
Tottenham are at a disadvantage when competing with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool to sign top players, according to manager Thomas Frank.
Thomas Frank has admitted Tottenham failed to finish the job after Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, despite a dominant first-half display.
Crystal Palace have underlined their ambition by completing the club-record signing of Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur for 35 million pounds.
