"Villa had ridden their luck, with Tottenham dominating the ball and creating more chances, but this hard-fought victory is enough to suggest that their pre-international break revival could become permanent. After five successive wins in all competitions the misery of a disappointing, PSR-affected summer and resultant slow start to the season seems like a distant memory. Tottenham's season in contrast, is in danger of flattering to deceive, as they did in the game."
"After taking a fifth-minute lead through Rodrigo Bentancur, this was a golden opportunity to move up to second in the table and put pressure on Arsenal, which they could not take. More worryingly, the defeat conforms to a pattern of Tottenham failing to take advantage of the support of a 61,000 crowd, with home games against Bournemouth, Burnley, Wolves and Villa bringing just a solitary victory."
Aston Villa won 2-1 at Tottenham with Morgan Rogers equalizing before halftime and Emiliano Buendia scoring the winner 13 minutes from time. Villa have recorded five successive wins in all competitions, recovering from a PSR-affected summer and a slow start to the season. Tottenham opened through Rodrigo Bentancur but could not build on the lead despite dominating possession and creating more chances. Tottenham's recent home form has been poor, with just one victory among several home fixtures and only three wins in 18 home matches. Cristian Romero was injured in the warm-up and replaced by Kevin Danso.
