Tottenham came back from a goal down to beat newly promoted Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

John McGinn put Villa in front early in the first half and they saw out an excellent first half to lead at the break.

But Spurs roared back, first through an equaliser by debutant Tanguy Ndombele who curled the ball into the far corner from the edge of the box.

Harry Kane then jumped on a loose ball in the box to put the hosts in front.

And he added the gloss with a wonderfully taken finish in the final minutes.
