Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Tottenham 0-2 Aston Villa: Emi Buendia and Douglas Luiz scored as Spurs slip to a costly defeat
Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League top-four hopes suffered a blow after second-half goals from Emiliano Buendia and Douglas Luiz fired Aston Villa to a 2-0 win.
World Cup finalists Hugo Lloris and Cristian Romero were back for Spurs, but the former was at fault for Buendia’s opener and Luiz was able to wrap up the points with a fine 73rd-minute finish.
It extended Unai Emery’s unbeaten record against Tottenham to four games and inflicted more misery on Antonio Conte’s side, who have conceded first in their last 10 matches and now dropped to fifth in the Premier League.
Spurs struggled to create chances throughout and were booed off after a third home defeat from their last five games.

McGinn pulled up holding his hamstring a few minutes ago, and now there's a break in play, he's down receiving treatment. Emery won't be taking any chances here, and he's replaced by Coutinho.

Villa are on the attack again, and Kamara tries to catch Spurs out with a long ball into the box this time. He's looking for Watkins through the middle, but Lloris gets to it first.

McGinn has time to get his head up before playing a lovely throughball into the box to finish the one-two with Luiz.

More patient play from Spurs as they try to open Villa up again. It's switched out to Perisic, who floats another cross in from the left, but this one is too close to Olsen.
