Aston Villa gave top seed Tottenham Hotspur an almighty scare in the Premier League 2 play-offs before falling to a heartbreaking loss in extra-time.
Sil Swinkels was in the right place at the right time to tap home at the back post and give the visitors the lead after 32 minutes.
Spurs turned the game around with two goals in five minutes, with Will Lankshear adding to Yago Santiago’s 71st-minute equaliser.
Substitute Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba dragged his side level with seven minutes to play before they appeared to be headed for defeat when Rio Kyerematen slotted home in stoppage time.
However, Jimoh-Aloba rescued his side with his second goal of the game to force extra-time.
Lankshear came through with the decisive goal in the 101st minute of the match, while Villa ended the game with ten men after Finley Munroe was shown a second yellow card.

The Young Lions travelled to the home of Stevenage FC as big underdogs to face the team who finished top of the league standings having lost just twice.
And they were under pressure in the opening minutes, with James Wright denying George Abbott before the goalkeeper and one of his defenders combined to keep out Jamie Donley’s follow-up.
Villa settled quickly after the early scare and caused their opponents a moment of worry when Swinkels headed wide from Aidan Borland’s cross.

The visitors were growing in confidence with every passing minute and as the match ticked past the half-hour mark, they took the lead.
A well-worked corner routine led to Omari Kellyman’s chipped shot being tipped into the path of Swinkels, who had an easy tap-in at the back post.
Spurs’ response to falling behind was muted, with Kyerematen flashing a long-range drive wide as the away side took a lead into the break.

But once again, Villa found their feet quickly and settled into a deep defensive set-up that was keeping Spurs at bay and reducing them to speculative efforts.
Kobei Moore and Jimoh-Aloba were introduced as the match entered its final quarter, with the visitors looking to freshen up their attack.
Shortly after the double change, Kadan Young cut inside and tested Lucas Gunter for the first time in the second half with a low drive.
Villa’s best spell of the half preceded an equaliser for the home side, who got themselves level when Santiago tapped home Nile John’s cross.

The comeback was complete five minutes later when Lankshear took the ball down in the box and sent a shot past Wright.
The Young Lions refused to lie down, hitting back and making it 2-2 when Jimoh-Aloba turned the ball in from close-range after fine work from Travis Patterson on the left.
Patterson and Moore came close to netting a winner before Spurs struck what appeared to be a fatal blow in stoppage time, with Kyerematen finding space in the box and placing an effort into the bottom corner.
However, Villa came roaring back to force extra-time when Jimoh-Aloba raced onto a lofted through ball and rounded Gunter before rolling into an empty net.

Wright made a fine save to smother Tyrese Hall’s shot at the start of the extra period, but there was little he could do when Lankshear bore down on goal.
The Spurs striker outmuscled Lamare Bogarde and dinked an effort beyond the ‘keeper to make it 4-3.
Only the outstretched leg of Gunter kept them ahead minutes later when Patterson looked set to level things up once again.
Villa’s task was made harder at the start of the second half in extra-time when Munroe was shown a second yellow card for simulation.
Despite their best efforts, the Villans couldn't pull level as their PL2 season came to an end.
