It is this moment that set them on their way, with Ezri Konsa’s 94th-minute strike glancing in off of Tyrone Mings to get all three points for Dean Smith’s side.

There were plenty of fans who were in complete adoration of the 21-year-old after he got the ball into the back of the net.

It wasn’t just the fact that he scored that fans were loving, with one commenting on “the passion in that celebration” as he jumped into the crowd.

Can you remember how much each of these transfer icons cost? Only experts will get 100% on our quiz…

What is for certain, is that the Brazilian is going to be a very popular man at Villa Park after that contribution to the massive win.

There was also plenty of backing for him, after Dean Smith’s decision making regarding the centre-midfielder.

Having assisted the equaliser against Brighton & Hove Albion, he still wasn’t picked to start ahead of Danny Drinkwater this time around.

Fans feel that should change against Leicester City and AFC Bournemouth though, as one fan demanded for the manager to “start him”.

Meanwhile, Villa fans reacted to a big piece of transfer news.

The following article is a special report; all information, unless otherwise stated, has been gleaned from Football FanCast sources.

Tottenham Hotspur have made a €25m (£21m) bid for PSV winger Steven Bergwijn, sources have told Football FanCast, but any move will not affect the club’s hunt for an out-and-out striker.

ESPN have reported that he will move to Spurs in this transfer window, though sources have communicated to FFC that the deal has yet to be agreed.

Nevertheless, Bergwijn has travelled to England with his agent, and manager Jose Mourinho is keen to snap up the 22-year-old.

There is also interest from Leicester City in the winger, who has scored five goals and registered 10 assists in 16 Eredivisie appearances this term.

Bergwijn can also play as an attacking midfielder and as a striker but one source familiar with the club’s recruitment has said that any move for the Netherlands international will not directly impact Tottenham’s pursuit of an out-and-out striker – meaning Spurs could strengthen their squad by signing both a winger and a centre-forward come the end of the month.

While his versatility appeals, Spurs remain keen to bring in a proper striker ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline, with Harry Kane out injured due to a serious hamstring issue.

The England captain could potentially miss the remainder of the season and Spurs have been offered a number of strikers in the January transfer window.

They have already signed midfielder Gedson Fernandes on loan from Benfica and are interested in AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek, while they have also held talks with Real Sociedad over the possible acquisition of Willian Jose.

The big fat Tottenham quiz of 2019 – how much do you remember about the last year at Spurs?

Thus, Spurs could potentially end the month with three new additions, should they manage to bring in Bergwijn and a striker in addition to Fernandes.

Mourinho’s side drew 1-1 with Southampton in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday and sit sixth in the Premier League, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Spurs fans have again hailed one of their outstanding stars!

Nathan Ferguson’s move from West Bromwich Albion to Crystal Palace fell through on deadline day, due to a knee issue that was brought up in the medical, as reported by The Evening Standard.

It is suggested within the report that Palace tried to renegotiate on the fee due to the problem, but the two parties were eventually unable to agree on a deal.

This means that the teenager will be staying at the Hawthorns until the season’s end, at least, which can lead to the argument that Slaven Bilic is now left with a selection dilemma.

The 19-year-old has been a useful player to have so far this season, starting 21 games with a near-split between right and left-back, scoring one goal and adding a further assist in that time.

He has also made a real impact defensively, averaging 2.4 tackles, 0.9 interceptions and 1.7 clearances per game.

However, Bilic will now need to assess whether he feels the teenager’s head has strayed after coming so close to the exit door, while there are other options who will be competing for a place in the team.

Most notably, while Ferguson’s move was falling through on deadline day, Lee Peltier completed his switch from Cardiff City, with Bluebirds fans’ reaction offering an indication of how popular he was.

The 33-year-old’s statistics also show the veteran’s defensive solidity, as in his 24 starts and one appearance off the bench, he averaged 1.4 tackles, 1.2 interceptions, 3.1 clearances and 0.6 blocks per game, while being dribbled past just 0.2 times.

Who the heck is that?! Can you name all of these obscure West Brom players…

In addition, Conor Townsend staked his claim to stay in the side during the Baggies’ 2-0 win over Luton Town.

That is because he put in a performance that was deemed to be Man of the Match worthy by WhoScored, featuring six completed tackles, three clearances, one interception and three aerial duels won.

Therefore, Bilic has definitely been left with decisions to make after the late transfer twist of Ferguson’s Palace move falling through.

Meanwhile, West Brom fans reacted to links with Peltier on deadline day.

Christian Eriksen has said that he felt like a “black sheep” at Tottenham Hotspur as he ran down his contract prior to his January transfer to Inter Milan, per BBC Sport.

What’s the word?

The Denmark international had attempted to exit the club in the summer, outlining his desire to take on a new challenge, with sources saying that he was hoping to join either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

No move materialised, however, and he instead joined Inter in January, sealing a reported £16.9m transfer to the San Siro.

Eriksen had made 20 appearances in the Premier League prior to his switch and he has now revealed that he felt like an outsider in his final months at the club.

He said: “If you have a short contract, you will be the black sheep. Of course, I did the interview. I was very honest. I felt I had to be honest.

“I didn’t want to hide like a lot of players do. Everyone is different. I was honest. I wanted to say it out loud.

“I did get the blame for a lot of stuff, for being the bad guy. I read I was the bad person in the changing room, that ever since I said I wanted to leave, it was no good me being there.

“To be honest, over the last few years, if anything came up, any player would think about leaving but I was the guy who said it publicly.”

No clues whatsoever: Which seasons do these iconic Spurs images belong to?

Keep playing well, then

Eriksen wasn’t seen as the black sheep because he wanted to leave the club.

Spurs players can be understood for wanting to step up to the likes of Real and Barca but he downed tools after his failure to leave.

Per WhoScored, of all players to start 10 games in the Premier League, only Danny Rose had a lower average rating than Eriksen – 6.49 to 6.51. It is no surprise that both were allowed to leave, with the left-back moving to Newcastle United on loan.

Had Eriksen kept his performance levels up and managed to provide more than two assists from attacking midfield, perhaps he wouldn’t have felt like so much of a black sheep.

He brought this on himself and has no one else to blame.

Meanwhile, Spurs fans have hailed one man’s potential injury return!

A number of Leeds United fans have taken to social media to react to an article published by The Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Graham Smyth regarding the club’s new signing Jean-Kevin Augustin.The 22-year-old, who is on loan at Leeds from RB Leipzig, has not been involved in the Championship for his new club thus far, missing the clashes with Millwall and Wigan Athletic despite technically being available to play.The attacker featured for the club’s U-23 side against Sheffield Wednesday U-23s on Monday, though, playing the opening 45 minutes of the contest.

Smyth wrote in his piece that Augustin “looks like a player who likes to dart in behind”.

However, a number of the Leeds fans were not overly pleased with what they saw from the attacker during his first minutes for the club, albeit in an U-23 clash.

Call yourself a Leeds expert? How much did each of these January signings cost?

However, others feel that the January arrival was not given much service in the opening half of the clash with Sheffield Wednesday’s second team.

Meanwhile, a number of the Leeds fans have also had their say on the performance of another player who featured in the Under-23s clash.

With the mid-season winter break now over, all eyes will be back on Premier League action.

For Mikel Arteta, the couple of weeks away no doubt gave him precious time with his Arsenal players to work on a few things and get his ideas across a bit more clearly.

That extra time will surely stand the Gunners in good stead heading into their clash with Newcastle at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.

Despite there still being a couple of absentees from injuries – the likes of Kieran Tierney and Calum Chambers for example – the Arsenal head coach appears to have a strong squad to choose from.

Below is a look at how the north London side might line up.

In front of first-choice goalkeeper Bernd Leno, Daviz Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi should be given the chance to impress as a centre-back partnership once again following their shut-out against Burnley.

That will mean the Gunners’ loan signing of Pablo Mari will have to wait a little longer to make his debut for the club, with the Europa League tie against Olympiacos in mid-week a potential place for him to do so.

The north London side also confirmed Bukayo Saka has shaken off the knock that caused him to go off at half-time at Turf Moor last time out, whilst Hector Bellerin should keep his place on the opposite flank at right-back.

Arteta could opt to bring in Lucas Torreira for Matteo Guendouzi in central midfield, and thereby partner Granit Xhaka – a player who has remarkably turned around his career at the Emirates.

Who is that?! Nobody has been able to name the teams all of these obscure managers were once in charge of…

Further ahead, Mesut Ozil’s inclusion in the starting line-up continues to baffle, with the German still failing to find the back of the net this season. A home game against Newcastle should surely tempt Arteta into handing Dani Ceballos a chance to shine in the number ten role.

And with Alexandre Lacazette unfortunately out of form at the moment – he has not scored in his last eight Premier League matches – the Gunners boss may finally axe him from the line-up. That could see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang move into a central role, with Gabriel Martinelli and the returning Nicolas Pepe out wide.

Meanwhile, Arsenal must tie down this youngster to a new contract.

Having only managed to sign Pablo Mari on a loan deal from Flamengo, it’s understandable Arsenal are seemingly keen on bringing in a centre-back on a permanent basis this summer.

According to German journalist Christian Falk, the Gunners are interested in Bayer Leverkusen ace, Jonathan Tah, who has a release clause of €40m (£33.2m).

After hearing about their links to the Germany international, Arsenal fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on their reported transfer target.

A couple of fans took issue with particular aspects of his game, with one questioning his use of the ball, and another slamming his pace and ability to turn.

Some supporters of the north London side compared Tah to Gunners defenders both past and present, with a couple saying he is simply another Shkodran Mustafi, whilst one suggested he is another Johan Djourou.

Despite only being 24, Tah has already built up a considerable wealth of experience in the Bundesliga, playing 143 games in the competition.

That level of experience would no doubt help to settle him into a pressure-cooked environment like at Arsenal, where trying to achieve Champions League qualification is high up the list of priorities.

It remains to be seen however whether the Gunners end up going for Tah, or for someone else.

Meanwhile, Arsenal fans discuss the Matteo Guendouzi saga.

Tottenham’s decision to loan out Danny Rose to Newcastle in January likely raised some eyebrows around north London. Not only was this a player who started for Spurs in last season’s Champions League final, but he was also one of just two natural left-backs at the club, alongside Ben Davies.

But in truth, Rose’s performance levels haven’t quite been what they should be for some time now. Between the 2013/14 and 2016/17 Premier League seasons, Whscored’s average rating for the left-back was always upwards of 7. In the three top-flight terms since, his highest performance rating has been 6.84.

And whilst some Spurs fans may have been wishing the club gave Rose one more chance as they watched Davies struggle in a 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday – the Welshman completed just 54.3% of his passes – the Magpies defender’s display at Selhurst Park was even more harrowing.

Despite Newcastle having the majority of the possession, Rose failed to record a single dribble or key pass from left wing-back, whereas defensively he mustered up just one tackle, alongside no interceptions, no clearances and no blocks. He also didn’t win any headers, and could only complete 71.4% of his passes.

His performance was so bad that Newcastle fans have already turned on the January signing, with supporters claiming he’s past his best and even that he looks overweight.

Money talks: How much did Levy pay for each of these Spurs stars?

Inevitably, Spurs’ squad would be stronger with one more experienced body for Jose Mourinho to choose from, even if it’s just for the odd cup game here and there. But Rose is already proving that he probably would have been as much a liability as an asset for the Lilywhites as they look to rectify a slow start to the season.

At least for the time being, Rose’s wayward form is somebody else’s problem – Mourinho can concentrate on the players who are going to pull their weight in the Premier League.

Noel Whelan has spoken about Jordan Pickford’s mistake during Everton’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United, as reported by Football Insider.

What did he say?

Carlo Ancelotti’s side had been given an absolute gift in the early stages of their match against United, as David De Gea took an age before eventually smashing his clearance against Dominic Calvert-Lewin and seeing it fly past him and into the net.

The last thing they will have wanted to do is give United a gift in return, but that is exactly what Pickford did.

Bruno Fernandes had hit a strike from outside the box that should have been saved with relative ease, but the England international allowed it to slip through his fingers.

Whelan gave his opinion on the incident: “There have been a lot of mistakes and he knows he should be saving them. It is one he will look back on and he will be pretty embarrassed about.

“He is England’s number one goalkeeper. We have seen a mistake from Spain’s number one as well. Both goalkeepers, international players, horrendous, schoolboy errors.

“It is a great strike for Fernandes but you have got to be saving that and he was running off like he scored a wonder-goal. Most of the goalkeepers in the league would have saved that shot but for some reason, it has gone under his body. He is better than that but he is making too many mistakes. I think it was a game Everton could have gone on and won as well.”

Call yourself an Everton expert? How much did each of these January signings cost?

Hard to argue

Pickford showed in that very same game that he can be a goalkeeper who comes up with impressive moments, when he sprung across his line to deny Odion Ighalo.

However, he cannot afford to keep making mistakes such as the one that led to him conceding against the Portuguese midfielder.

As impressive as the 25-year-old can be, he needs to kick out these mistakes if he is to keep the number one jerseys for England and Everton for years to come. According to the official Premier League website, only Martin Dubravka has made more errors than Pickford that have directly led to a goal for the opposition.

Meanwhile, Dominic Calvert-Lewin commented on Richarlison’s Instagram post.

Sunderland head into this weekend’s huge tussle with Coventry having lost just once in their last 15 outings.

However, this will be one of their biggest tests yet as they face a side also gunning for promotion from League One.

Coincidentally, the Black Cats’ only major hiccup in the last couple of months has been against a side in and around them, suffering defeat against Portsmouth.

But who will start in this weekend’s clash? There might well be a few changes in store.

On the chalkboard

The old adage is don’t fix what ain’t broke and that should be the mantra for the Mackems on Sunday – to a certain degree anyway.

Charlie Wyke and Lyndon Gooch are both slight doubts for the encounter but there should at least be one change that isn’t enforced on Sunday lunchtime.

Denver Hume has been rather inconsistent of late and his performances have done little to warrant a constant starting berth.

Sunderland have been in terrific form, keeping eight clean sheets in their last ten games but he has been one of the few players to underperform.

Journalist Phil Smith claimed he looked “off the pace” during their 1-1 draw with Fleetwood in midweek and this could be as good a time as any to drop him.

The solution

One of Hume’s stand out moments this season was the strike against Wycombe but he’s failed to show a similar sort of threat since that moment. His pass success rate has failed to clear the 77% mark while he’s won just three tackles and played eight successful crosses in nine matches, according to WhoScored.

For someone playing as a wing-back, you’d want them to be providing more in the final third. On top of that, Hume has also lost possession regularly. Via SofaScore, the 21-year-old lost the ball 21 times in midweek.

With that in mind, now seems like an ideal time to hand Declan John his debut. The left-sided player featured in a behind closed doors game on Wednesday, playing 60 minutes in a 5-2 win for the Black Cats over Carlisle.

John had yet to pull on a Sunderland shirt until that moment but he’s now received minutes and got up to speed rather nicely. Manager Phil Parkinson noted last week that he’d been unfortunate to miss out, primarily because he needed other options from the bench.

Calling all EFL experts: Can you get full marks on this stadiums quiz?

However, Hume’s disappointing displays should lead to John finally getting an opportunity.

The Swansea loanee was assured with his passing in 2018/19, recording a success rate of 85.8%. John is also a more prolific tackler, winning 1.3 challenges in the Championship last campaign compared to Hume’s 0.8 this season.

Coventry may be a baptism of fire but he’s already proven his qualities at a higher level.
