The Premier League encounter between Tottenham and Aston Villa was a thrilling one, with the latter coming from behind to secure a 2-1 win.
The match was played amidst poignant scenes, as both sets of supporters honoured former Spurs manager Terry Venables, who had passed away at the age of 80.
The hosts started the game with explosive intensity and created several opportunities, with Destiny Udogie and Dejan Kulusevski coming close to scoring early on.
Tottenham’s pressure finally paid off when Giovani Lo Celso, making his first Premier League start in over two years, fired a powerful shot towards the goal, which deflected off Diego Carlos and past Aston Villa’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

However, Tottenham’s performance deteriorated as the game progressed, allowing Aston Villa to equalize just before halftime when Pau Torres headed in a goal.
Spurs’ frustration grew, with Heung-Min Son having three goals disallowed, and Ollie Watkins then completed the comeback to secure the win for Aston Villa.
The result sees Aston Villa climb above Tottenham into fourth place in the Premier League.
