BRILLIANT ASTON VILLA WIN THIRD GAME IN A ROW AND CONTINUE SPURS' HOME STRUGGLES
Morgan Rogers and Emiliano Buendia scored brilliant goals to earn Aston Villa a deserved 2-1 victory over Tottenham.
Rodrigo Bentancur opened the scoring for the hosts after just five minutes at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, tapping home after Joao Palhinha headed across goal to get Thomas Frank's side off to a great start.
Spurs then looked to be largely in charge and were the more likely side to score a second, when out of nowhere Rogers equalised with a marvelous dipping effort that gave Gugliemo Vicario no chance.
Tottenham were again the better side for the first 30 minutes of the second half, but Villa pounced again after Matty Cash's brilliant ball over the top was touched by Lucas Digne, who laid off for Emiliano Buendia to slot it perfectly into the bottom corner.
The result sees Villa climb to 10th in the league and continue their revival. They have now gone five matches without defeat in the Premier League. The defeat means Spurs fall to sixth, slipping behind Chelsea on goal difference after they lost their second Premier League match of the season, both of which have come at home.

IS THAT THE LAST CHANCE?
Mohammed Kudus again is the man to inspire something for Tottenham as he whips in a good ball into the box.
The ball lands at Brennan Johnson's feet but he is unable to keep it down and it sails over the bar.

DANSO BOOKED
Kevin Danso, not for the first time today, is late to tackle Lucas Digne and treads on his foot.
It is deemed a bookable offence by Simon Hooper, so that is both Spurs center backs in the book now.
