Aston Villa secured their first Premier League victory of the 2026/27 season with a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The result leaves the visitors on four points from five matches, while Tottenham remain without a league win after five games, sitting 18th in the table. Villa's Nicolas Jackson and Emiliano Buendia scored in the second half, while Tottenham's Jan Paul van Hecke headed in a late equalizer.
Villa's goalkeeper, Zion Suzuki, made five crucial saves during a sustained late assault by Spurs, who finished with 64% possession and 11 corners compared to Villa's one. The win provides a much-needed boost for Unai Emery, who arrived at Villa after a difficult start to the campaign.
