Villa’s first away league win of the season gave Unai Emery’s side their fifth straight victory in all competitions, after they had failed to win their first six games this season.
Tottenham 1-2 Aston Villa: Buendia’s brilliant finish completes turnaround
Aston Villa made a slow start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but came from behind to record their fifth straight win in all competitions.
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
