Unai Emery’s side claim fifth straight win in all competitions while Spurs miss chance to go second
Emiliano Buendia scored a superb winner as Aston Villa came from behind to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Sunday.
Buendia came off the bench to seal a hard-fought victory for Unai Emery’s team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Morgan Rogers had cancelled out Rodrigo Bentancur’s earlier effort.
Bentancur broke the deadlock in the fifth minute with his first Premier League goal of 2025, but Rogers fired the visitors level before half-time with a fantastic long-range shot, his maiden top-flight strike of the campaign.
The game appeared to be drifting towards a draw until the 77th minute, when Buendia curled in brilliantly from the edge of the box.
