Tottenham vs Aston Villa – Premier League LIVE: Guests DOUBLE their lead as Nicolas Jackson baggage for his new membership – whereas hosts’ await first GOAL goes on

That’s an absolute firecracker from Emi Buendia!

Manzambi is off, 19-year-old Englishman George Hemmings is on for Villa.

Maddison, wanting a bit like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, is caught by Buendia on the sting of the realm. That ought to have been a free-kick.

Tonali tries to whip in a protracted shot, however no, it is vast. Will it ever occur for Spurs?

It is gone from unhealthy to worse for Spurs as Jackson has his first Villa objective!

It is one lengthy ball excessive, Jackson brings it down excellently however Van Hecke defended prefer it was a kindergarten recreation. A fast one-two with Kamara and Jackson releases a venemous low shot to beat Kinsky.

Emery celebrates like a madman. Spurs are on the ropes.

Solanke’s final act is to go the ball over the bar from a nook – truthful play to Lindelof for simply placing sufficient strain on – and now James Maddison is on.

I do discover that one a bit odd. Not a like-for-like alternative. However who do they actually must deliver on? By way of strikers, no person, not with Richarlison exiled like he’s.

Spurs have a free-kick in a promising positon, Robertson tries to swing it in direction of the far facet, however guess who’s there? Mr Suzuki as soon as extra, arch-nemesis of the north London white shirts.

He is earned that objective being dominated out, actually. However Tottenham look emboldened. They don’t seem to be shrinking away.

Oh expensive, oh expensive. Andy Robertson simply strayed offside. No scrappy objective for Kudus. Tottenham have to select themselves up. The followers look crestfallen.
