- 90'+4'That's all for today, goodbye!
- 90'+4'Pochettino's side were made to work hard for the three points today as they join the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City in earning a first-game three points. For large parts of the match they looked devoid of ideas, though, and they will need to improve before they face City next weekend. There are a lot of positives for Villa to take from this performance as they now look forward to their game against Bournemouth.
- 90'+4'FULL-TIME: TOTTENHAM 3-1 ASTON VILLA.
- 90'+2'Final change from Pochettino sees Skipp come on to replace the scorer of Spurs' first goal, Ndombele.
- 90'The build-up play from Spurs' midfield drew the Villa players away from Kane and Sissoko played his short pass through the gaps to pick out his team-mate.
- 90'KANE MAKES IT THREE! Villa look tired after letting in the second and they just sit back when Sissoko slips the ball through to Kane. He has time to take a touch to set himself before slotting his shot into the bottom-right corner. 3-1 Spurs!
- 88'Pochettino makes his second change of the match as he brings on Nkoudou in place of Lamela.
- 87'Lamela is shown the first yellow card of the game.
- 86'KANE PUTS SPURS AHEAD! Grealish was dispossessed by Lamela on the edge of the box and his effort rebounded off Mings and Engels before landing at Kane's feet. He turned quickly before firing his shot past Heaton and into the back of the net. 2-1 Spurs!
- 84'Sissoko picks up the ball on the edge of the box and decides to have another go from long range. His effort takes a deflection on the way through off Taylor and is just wide of the post.
- 82'The final change for Villa sees Luiz come on for his debut as he replaces Hourihane.
- 80'The Spurs players and fans are all asking for a penalty as they feel that Alderweireld's shot struck a hand before Heaton saved it.
- 76'Spurs look more confident following the equaliser and are pushing forward to try and find the winner now. Rose is caught by Jota on the edge of the box and Spurs have a free-kick in a dangerous position.
- 74'Second roll of the dice for Smith now as Kodija comes on in place of Wesley.
- 73'Lucas takes the corner this time and instead of putting the cross into the box, he spots Ndombele on the edge of the box and takes the short option instead.
- 73'NDOMBELE EQUALISES FOR SPURS! The corner that followed Heaton's save proved more costly for Villa after Lucas picked out Ndombele outside the box. He struck his shot well and beat Heaton to find the bottom corner. 1-1!
- 71'Eriksen dispossesses Grealish in the final third and goes straight on the counter-attack. Kane is up with him but he overhits his cross and Villa are able to clear the danger.
- 69'Spurs string some good passes together and Kane gets it on the left of the box. He spots Eriksen's run to the end of the box and plays him in, but the substitute's shot is well wide of the post.
- 67'Heaton had come a long way out of his box to clear a long pass from Alderweireld, but the keeper only headed it into Eriksen's path. He touched it onto Lamela, who had an empty net to aim for but his tame shot was stopped by Mings.
- 65'Spurs have a corner and Lamela swings it into the box. He picks out Alderweireld at the near post, but the defender can only send his effort over the crossbar.
- 64'Pochettino makes his first change of the game now as he brings on Eriksen to replace Winks.
- 63'Just like in the first-half, Spurs are slowing down the pace of the game as they struggle to find a way past Villa's defence.
- 59'First change of the game is made by Villa as Jota is handed his debut as he comes on for Trezeguet.
- 57'Lucas' frustration is starting to show again now. Lamela plays a short throughball to him but as he turns away from his defender, he takes the ball out of play and Villa have a goal-kick.
- 55'Kane gets another chance on goal after he turns his defender. His shot is powerful but it's deflected which takes it wide of the far post.
- 53'Winks chips the ball into the box and picks out Kane in the middle. He rises above his defender but can't direct his header on target and El Mohamady is in the right place to clear it.
- 50'Lamela drifts out to the left and puts a good cross into the box. It misses Lucas and Kane but bounces through to Sissoko who's unmarked at the far post. He drags his shot though and it rolls out for a throw-in near the opposite corner flag.
- 48'The home side are getting into some dangerous positions at the start of the second half and are putting a lot of pressure on Villa's defence.
- 46'Spurs have come out on the front foot and Villa don't clear their lines properly from Lucas' cross. The ball bounces to Lamela and Engels gets across to put in a last-ditch tackle to block the shot.
- 46'Spurs get the game back underway for the second half!
- 45'+2'Smith will be impressed with how his side have played in the first half. They've sat back and defended well but have also taken their chances to go forward and have caused Spurs some real problems. As for Spurs, they've created some very good opportunities in front of goal, but for large parts of the game have struggled to get in behind Villa. They've looked out of ideas at times and could benefit from someone like Eriksen being brought on in the second half.
- 45'+2'HALF-TIME: TOTTENHAM 0-1 ASTON VILLA.
- 45'+1'Kane has another chance to draw Spurs level as he pulls away from his defender to latch onto Lamela's pass. He's one-on-one with the keeper but drags his shot wide of the far post. It wouldn't have counted anyway though as he was offside when he got the ball.
- 43'Hourihane slips the ball to El Ghazi who has a go from outside the box. His shot is on target, but straight at Lloris and it's a comfortable save for the keeper.
- 42'Once again, Spurs can't get in behind Villa so Sissoko decides to have a go from long-range. It's not too far away, but it's always rising as it flies wide of the target.
- 40'Lucas wins the ball back for Spurs in midfield and has the chance to counter-attack. He's too slow to pick a pass to a team-mate though which gives Villa time to get back into their positions.
- 38'Spurs are still struggling to pass their way through Villa's defence and their frustration is starting to show. Lucas takes a heavy touch and gives the ball to Hourihane before fouling him as he tries to win it back.
- 36'Villa play their free-kick out to El Ghazi on the left and he puts a cross into the box. Wesley rises highest in the middle to meet it, but his header is straight at Lloris.
- 34'Kane isn't closed down as moves into the box and decides to have a shot. It's always rising though and flies over the crossbar.
- 33'Grealish is leading the counter-attack for Villa and has Trezeguet up in support with him. He squares the ball to his team-Trezeguet who has a lot of space on the edge of the box but his shot is tame and it's a comfortable save for Lloris.
- 31'Winks spots Kane's run to the near post and loops a good cross over Villa's defence to pick him out. El Mohamady just gets there ahead of him though and puts the ball out of play.
- 29'The Spurs players and fans are starting to get frustrated now as Villa are awarded a free-kick in a dangerous position. Sissoko caught El Ghazi with a late challenge but the crowd think he made too much of the contact.
- 27'Trezeguet puts a brilliant looping cross towards the far post. None of his team-mates are able to get on the end of it though as they made the wrong run and the chance goes to waste.
- 25'Spurs are keeping the ball well at the minute, but they aren't doing much with it. A lot of their possession is in midfield where it isn't causing Villa any problems.
- 23'Villa are starting to find their rhythm now and are moving the ball upfield with a lot more confidence. El Ghazi gets into a good position on the edge of the box but ends up fouling Sissoko before he can create a chance.
- 21'GOOD CHANCE FOR TREZEGUET! He just managed to keep himself onside as he got on the end of McGinn's pass before hitting his shot. He's closed down by two defenders though and his effort is blocked.
- 17'The home fans aren't happy with the referee at the minute as Kane has just gone to ground in the box and they want a penalty. There wasn't a lot in it and the referee had a good view of it as he waved the claim away.
- 13'Kane picks up the ball deep in midfield and loops a pass upfield to Lucas. The Brazilian almost gets on the end of it, but is just beaten to it by Engels who nods it onto Heaton to stop the chance.
- 11'It's back to how it was before the goal. Villa have all of their players sitting back once again and Spurs can't figure out a way to get in behind them and into the box.
- 9'Mings gets his head up, deep in his own half, and spots McGinn's run through the middle. It was a perfectly weighted pass to pick out his team-mate and set up the opening goal.
- 9'MCGINN GIVES VILLA THE LEAD! It's completely against the run of play. A long ball over the top from Mings picks out McGinn between two defenders and he brings it down before wrong-footing Sanchez and slotting his shot low, past Lloris and into the bottom corner. 1-0 Villa!
- 8'Spurs have a free-kick near the byline on the right wing and Lamela is stepping up to take it. He goes for goal himself, despite the tight angle, and his effort sails over the crossbar.
- 7'Villa have barely been able to get on the ball yet due to Spurs' dominance and have all of their players sitting back to try and close down the space in midfield.
- 3'Spurs are dominating the game in the opening minutes and are getting into some dangerous positions. Rose puts a cross into the box from the left but it's an easy catch for Heaton.
- 1'Grealish gets the game underway for Aston Villa!

They finished fifth last season but overcame West Brom in the play-off semi-finals before holding off Derby County in the final to win 2-1 and get promoted. Dean Smith has brought in a lot of new faces to help his side prepare for the Premier League in the hopes of staying up. First up for them is last season's Champions League finalists. Spurs have been tipped to push Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the table this season after adding to their squad during the transfer window.
