At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Aston Villa challenged Tottenham for the 13th day of the Premier League. After two consecutive defeats in the championship, Ange Postecoglou’s men had to raise their heads but the mission promised to be delicate against Unai Emery’s gang.

Far from being resigned after conceding the opener, Aston Villa reacted perfectly and equalized, just before the break, through Pau Torres (1-1, 45+7th). Returning from the locker room, the inevitable Ollie Watkins even gave the visitors the advantage (1-2, 61st). At the end of the match and despite debates being more open than ever (33 shots in total), the scoreboard no longer moved. With this prestigious victory (2-1), Aston Villa climbs to 4th place and overtakes its opponent of the day. Tottenham are 5th and have a third setback in a row.
