Tottenham’s miserable start to the season continued this afternoon as Aston Villa overcame an early onslaught to win in North London and pile the pressure on Roberto De Zerbi.

Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki produced a string of fine stops as the hosts dominated the early stages but there was a sense of inevitability that it would lead to nothing before they were caught out at the other end.

And that’s exactly what happened as Johan Manzambi prodded in just before the break.

Spurs thought they had equalised in the second half but Mohammed Kudus’s effort was disallowed for offside against Andy Robertson.

It was cruel but Villa showed no mercy with Nicolas Jackson and Emi Buendia scoring to increase the visitors’ advantage.

Conor Gallagher did score Tottenham’s first league goal of the season with four minutes to go, and there was still time for Jan Paul van Hecke to add a second, but it was scant consolation.
