Roberto De Zerbi and Tottenham continue to sink. Despite an XXL summer transfer window, Spurs went a fifth match in a row without a win in the Premier League this Saturday. After two defeats, two draws and above all zero goals scored, the London club once again disappointed in great ways on the 5th day. At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the locals, aligned in 4-2-3-1 with Solanke at the forefront of the attack, fell against Aston Villa (2-3).

Served by former Marseillais Boubacar Kamara, Johan Manzambi released his team in added time of the first period (0-1, 45+4th) before another magnificent achievement from Nicolas Jackson returning from the locker room (0-2, 67th) then that of Emiliano Buendia, author of a splendid strike a few minutes later (0-3, 79th). To make matters worse, Spurs, who saw their equalizer disallowed for an offside position, also lost Pedro Porro to injury. At the end of the match, Conor Gallagher, who had just come on, and Jan Paul van Hecke saved the honor, but the damage was already done. In the standings, Tottenham is 18th. Aston Villa move up to 15th.
