It's a new year but there was the same old habits for Tottenham as they fell to defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon. Antonio Conte's side were struck with a few injuries as Bryan Gil was handed a first Premier League start of the season in the absence of Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison.
The Lilywhites struggled to make a quick start at home, with a slow first-half played out between the two sides. For a tenth straight game though, Tottenham went behind as Emi Buendia capitalised on a spill from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris - which happened to be his first appearance since losing the World Cup final.
That deficit was doubled soon after as Yves Bissouma lost Douglas Luiz, who wandered into the box and latched onto a John McGinn pass. The Brazilian's first touch brought the ball down and allowed him to slot the ball home coolly to ensure former Arsenal boss Unai Emery had the last laugh.
