Aston Villa Secures Fifth Straight Win Over Tottenham with Buendia Winner

Emiliano Buendía came off the bench to curl home a 77th-minute winner as Aston Villa recovered from an early deficit to beat Tottenham 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Rodrigo Bentancur had put Spurs ahead inside five minutes before Morgan Rogers equalised in the 37th minute with a long-range dipping strike. The goal came from a superb team move involving Matty Cash and Lucas Digne, who set up Buendía for the decisive finish. The victory was Villa’s first away league win of the season and their fifth straight in all competitions under Unai Emery, lifting them into the top half of the table. Tottenham’s seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions ended, and their home struggles continue — they have won just three of their last 18 Premier League games at the stadium. After the goal Spurs failed to register a shot on target, and Villa held on to secure all three points.
