Spurs have an ability to find new ways of inflicting pain on their fanbase and they did it again here, petering out from a strong start into defeat to confirm their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign.
Aston Villa were meanwhile ruthless in claiming their first victory of the season.
With Johan Manzambi the other goalscorer, there were pleasing signs for the Spaniard’s turbo-charged refit of his team.
Suzuki made more passes into the final third than any other player on the pitch too, his 14 double the tally of Spurs’ £100m signing Sandro Tonali.
With 10 minutes remaining, and Villa camped out on the edge of the Spurs box, Buendía joined the fun with a long-range effort.

How
Summarized version
Spurs’ supporters were getting a sense that it might be one of those days, and Villa’s players began to relax a little knowing they had a barrier behind them. That moment arrived in first half added time and with one half of Spurs’ central defensive pairing receiving treatment on the touchline.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Spurs have an ability to find new ways of inflicting pain on their fanbase and they did it again here, petering out from a strong start into defeat to confirm their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign. On the upside, they did get two goals.
Aston Villa were meanwhile ruthless in claiming their first victory of the season. In the second, Unai Emery’s side were robust in defence and clinical on the counter, and supreme strikes from both Nicolas Jackson and Emi Buendía decided the contest. With Johan Manzambi the other goalscorer, there were pleasing signs for the Spaniard’s turbo-charged refit of his team.
Zion Suzuki was probably the man of the match and the star of the first half hour. Suzuki made more passes into the final third than any other player on the pitch too, his 14 double the tally of Spurs’ £100m signing Sandro Tonali.
Spurs’ supporters were getting a sense that it might be one of those days, and Villa’s players began to relax a little knowing they had a barrier behind them. With direct passes to Jackson regularly troubling the Spurs defence, a chance would fall their way eventually.
The captain was being mopped up for a cut cheek as Buendía dinked yet another pass over the Spurs defensive line. The Villa captain whipped the ball back into the box, Boubacar Kamara’s shot was deflected and Manzambi was on hand to scoop a shot into the net from six yards out.
With 10 minutes remaining, and Villa camped out on the edge of the Spurs box, Buendía joined the fun with a long-range effort.
