Aston Villa came from behind in a pulsating encounter at Tottenham to claim a 2-1 win and hand Ange Postecoglou’s side their third successive defeat.
Match Report
There were emotional scenes before kick-off as both sets of supporters paid tribute to former Spurs boss Terry Venables, whose death at the age of 80 was announced on Sunday.
Perhaps that roused the hosts, who started with a fiery intensity and should have scored two early goals through Destiny Udogie and Dejan Kulusevski.
Spurs eventually got the goal their play deserved when Giovani Lo Celso - starting his first Premier League game in more than two years - saw his powerful drive deflect off Diego Carlos and past the helpless Emiliano Martinez.
But errors started to creep into Spurs’ game, allowing Pau Torres to head in an equaliser in first-half stoppage time.
Heung-Min Son saw a hat-trick of goals disallowed as Spurs' frustration built, before Ollie Watkins completed the turnaround to move Villa above Spurs and into fourth in the Premier League.
