Emiliano Buendia scored a sublime winner as Aston Villa came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 on Sunday.

Buendia climbed off the bench to seal a gritty victory for Unai Emery's team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Morgan Rogers had cancelled out Rodrigo Bentancur's earlier effort.

Bentancur broke the deadlock in the fifth minute with his first Premier League goal of 2025, his first-time finish taking a slight deflection off Amadou Onana after Joao Palhinha cushioned Mohammed Kudus' deep cross into his path.

However, Rogers fired the visitors level before half-time, whipping a 20-yard strike beyond Guglielmo Vicario to net for the first time in the Premier League this term.

Spurs wasted some decent sightings in the second half, and were made to pay when Buendia curled in brilliantly from the edge of the box.

Brennan Johnson blazed over in stoppage time as Villa held on to move up to 10th on 12 points, within two points of Spurs.

Data Debrief: No home comforts for Spurs

Since the start of last season, Tottenham have dropped more points from winning positions at home in the Premier League (19) than any other side. They have lost five times after leading at home in the division during this time, also a league-high tally.

With just four points in four home Premier League games this season, this is Spurs' poorest home start to a league campaign since 2008-09, when they had one point from their opening four at home.

They started well enough, though. In fact, since the beginning of last season, sides managed by Thomas Frank have scored more Premier League goals in the opening five minutes of games (six; five with Brentford, one with Spurs) than any other teams.

However, it ultimately proved academic, with Villa enjoying their first away league win after falling behind in exactly a year (against Fulham), having lost 10 of their previous 11 away league games in which they trailed before today.
