Tottenham's attack, led by Mohammed Kudus, was instrumental in the goal. Kudus delivered a deep cross into the box, which João Palhinha knocked down to Rodrigo Bentancur. Bentancur then broke the deadlock with a shot that deflected off Amadou Onana.

The hosts thought they had doubled the lead shortly after, but Kudus' goal was called offside. Aston Villa's response was subdued, with the team struggling to create meaningful scoring opportunities in the first half.

However, Morgan Rogers produced a stunning effort that dipped over the outstretched arm of Guglielmo Vicario, levelling the scores just before halftime. The match remained evenly poised, with neither team able to gain a clear advantage.

As the second half progressed, Tottenham continued to push for the winning goal, but Aston Villa's defense held firm. The introduction of substitutes Richarlison and Ollie Watkins failed to have an immediate impact, but Emi Buendía made a decisive contribution in the 78th minute, scoring the winning goal with a precise finish after a clever lay-off from Lucas Digne.

The result sees Tottenham drop to sixth in the Premier League standings, while Aston Villa climbs into the top half, securing their first away league win of the season.
