Morgan Rogers netted a stunning equaliser later in the first half, before Emi Buendia sealed the victory with a strike from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Villa are yet to release ticket details for the FA Cup third-round clash, but an announcement is expected shortly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Meanwhile, Tottenham have advised that some North Stand season ticket holders will be unable to purchase their usual seats due to Villa taking their full allocation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The club added that season ticket holders seated in blocks 420\u2013424 and 515\u2013519, along with a small number in blocks 112, 419, 514 and 520 who purchased a \u2018Premier League Only\u2019 season ticket, will be able to purchase an alternative ticket from 2pm on Thursday, December 18.
