Tottenham vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Spurs suffer third straight defeat

27 mins: A huge sigh of relief for Spurs fans as the goal is ruled out for offside. Tight margins but it looks like the right decision.

The home side remain 1-0 up but that’s a huge let-off.

Aston Villa hit back straight away! An immediate response from the away side as Watkins drifted in between the two centre-backs to slot home from Digne’s inch-perfect cross.

There’s a VAR check for offside, however...

What a strike from the Argentine!

A deserved opener for Tottenham an the pressure finally tells. A corner comes out to Lo Celso on the edge of the box and it’s a sweet strike from the midfielder which takes a slight deflection off Carlos and flies into the back of the net past Martinez.

20 mins: Gil has started really brightly in his first Premier League start this season. An enticing cross in from the left from the Spaniard just evades Son in the middle as Villa clear it away for a corner.

18 mins: Villa are at sixes and sevens at the minute and can’t deal with this Spurs press. But the home side have to make one of these chances count sooner rather than later as Porro’s low cross into the box - looking for the unmarked Son - is cleared away by the Villa defence.

15 mins: This unrelenting start from Spurs shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. More neat interplay between their forwards sees Kulusevski charge through on goal, this time. The Swede’s effort is denied by the onrushing Martinez but - like Son’s earlier effort - wouldn’t have counted as the flag goes up.

13 mins: A huge chance for Son as Johnson cuts the ball across to him unmarked on the six-yard box. The Spurs captain gets it all wrong and fires high over the bar but his blushes are saved as the offside flag goes up.

11 mins: There’s some potential early concern for Emerson who appeared to signal to the Spurs bench that there was an issue. Dier has been sent to warm up but they continue for now.

7 mins: Chances galore in these early stages as Gil is found by a cute backheel from Kulusevski. It’s a tight angle from the Spaniard but he forces a good save from Martinez as the follow-up header goes over.

5 mins: And now a big chance for Villa! From a free-kick, Pau Torres is afforded far too much space but can only guide his free header wide of the post from little more than six yards out.

A frenetic start to this encounter.
