Manzambi catches eye as Villa beat Spurs - player ratings
Tottenham are still looking for their first Premier League goal of the season.
Tottenham's Antonin Kinsky made several solid saves, including one from Johan Manzambi's strike and another that thwarted Emi Buendia. Pedro Porro, who returned after missing recent matches, played for 18 minutes before limping off injured. Jan Paul van Hecke put in a robust performance, handling the nuisance of Nicolas Jackson as Villa ventured forward, eventually scoring the opener.
Micky van de Ven left the field due to injury, and the match saw various substitutions throughout. Aston Villa's Zion Suzuki kept the team level with crucial saves, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka struggled to adapt under Unai Emery's management. Victor Lindelof, Tyrone Mings, Victor Ruggeri, Joao Gomes, Boubacar Kamara, and John McGinn all contributed positively, with Buendia scoring the decisive goal.
Johan Manzambi was also instrumental, netting the first goal and providing an assist, as he adapted well to his debut for Aston Villa.
