Harry Kane scored a double late in the game to lead Tottenham Hotspur to a late goal in front of newcomer Aston Villa, who won 3-1 in the first two Premier League games. Villa, returning to the top after three seasons in the second division, surprised the hosts with a goal in the ninth minute when John McGinn scored in the visitors' first attack.
However, Tangai Ndomble, the most expensive deal in Tottenham's history, scored his first goal for the team with a perfect shot from the edge of the box in the 73rd minute to break Villa's resistance. Jack Greelish lost the ball on the penalty area in the 86th minute and sent the ball to Kane with a low shot. Kane added to the painful effort of Villa Villa at the last minute to secure victory for Tottenham, who will play his first home game in eight seasons.
Tottenham took the ball, but the performance improved after the replacement of Christian Eriksen, whose future remains uncertain until the end of the transfer period in Spain, Italy and Germany, instead of Harry Winks , where Villa's performance then declined. "We started the second period with better performance and good pressure," said Keane. "When Tangai scored his goal, the performance turned in our favor until the end."
Villa hired 12 players for about 130 million pounds ($ 156 million) during the transfer, with the goal of staying. But Scottish striker McGinn, who was used to last season, brought the team back to the top of the standings, scoring the only goal of his team. McGuin received a long pbad from Tyrone Mings, who saluted her silently and shot French goaltender Hugo Lloris as defenseman Danny Rose slipped.
Tottenham seemed very slow in the first period and Villa was impressive. Kane sent a head to the bar before the break, frustrating for the locals. Tottenham tied in the 73rd minute before Villa Villa goalkeeper Heat Heaton scored to prevent Davenson Sanchez from scoring, but when the ball came back to Ndomble through a Lucas Moura pbad, a good shot in the goal. Eriksen tested Heaton's free kick while Villa failed to overtake the half. Greelish lost the ball against Argentine Eric Lamela, who pbaded the ball to Kane to put it in the goal, and then Sissoko pbaded the ball to Kane to score the third goal.
"The first half was difficult," said Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino. The first 45 minutes were not the best for us. "But in the second half, we started to make more opportunities, but the difficulty continued because the opponent was strongly defended." "We started the game very well," said coach Villa Smith.
