Aston Villa Extends Premier League Unbeaten Run with 2-1 Tottenham Away Win

Aston Villa secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches and achieving their fifth consecutive Premier League win under Unai Emery. Tottenham took an early lead through Rodrigo Bentancur's volley following a set-piece, but Villa fought back with Morgan Rogers scoring a stunning equalizer before halftime and Emi Buendia curling in the winner in the second half. Tottenham struggled with home form in 2025, having won just three of their last 13 home league games, and were hampered by the injury to captain Cristian Romero just before kickoff. Despite Tottenham's early dominance and attacking pressure, Villa's resilience and tactical maturity, highlighted by clinical finishing from their only two shots on target, proved decisive. Spurs manager Thomas Frank acknowledged the team's spirited performance but lamented missed opportunities, while Emery praised his side's competitive edge. The result sees Villa climb into midtable, while Spurs remain sixth and face concerns over their defensive stability moving forward.
