Aston Villa beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Premier League on 19 September 2026

Aston Villa defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a Premier League match on 19 September 2026, extending Tottenham’s wait for a first league victory of the season.

Tottenham’s search for a first Premier League win continued as the club, now managed by Roberto De Zerbi, suffered another setback despite heavy spending in the transfer window, according to the report. The result left Spurs still seeking their opening victory and described the team as underwhelming by the original account.

Aston Villa opened their scoring through Johan Manzambi and added further goals from Nicolas Jackson and Emiliano Buendía, giving Villa three away goals at Tottenham. The report noted Villa’s win put them on track for their inaugural league victory of the season.

Johan Manzambi was singled out in the article for his impact on his Premier League debut, credited with a goal and an assist after joining from Freiburg for £51 million in the summer transfer window; he was substituted in the 72nd minute. The write-up described Manzambi as a constant menace until his replacement.

Conor Gallagher produced Tottenham’s first Premier League goal of the 2026-27 campaign with an 86th-minute strike, ending a 445-minute scoring drought. The drought had encompassed Tottenham’s first four league matches against Brentford, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Everton, and the report said it was the club’s first run of four scoreless Premier League games since September 2006.

Following the defeat, the account recorded Tottenham Hotspur as having just two points from their first five Premier League games and slipping to 18th in the table, placing them in the relegation zone.
