Full of confidence after a 7-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, Tottenham hosted Aston Villa in a truly impressive way at home. The injury of captain Cristian Romero during the pre-match warm-up somewhat affected the home team's morale with vague worries.
Rodrigo Bentancur (30) opened the scoring early for home team Tottenham
In just the 5th minute, Rodrigo Bentancur took advantage of the central coordination between Mohammed Kudus and Palhinha to rush up and shoot accurately, defeating Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
Tottenham Stadium exploded after the Uruguayan midfielder's stunning goal. Excited after the opening goal, Tottenham controlled the ball better but the young strikers Mathys Tel and Xavi Simons could not create a breakthrough against Aston Villa's tight defense.
Tottenham almost doubled their lead when Kudus finished neatly from Micky van de Ven's long pass but the goal was ruled out for offside.
Goalkeeper Emi Martinez had a hard day at work in London
Not being caught up in the home team's tempo, Aston Villa gradually regained control of the ball thanks to the sharp coordination of the midfielder pair Boubacar Kamara - John McGinn. In the 37th minute, Morgan Rogers received the ball from Donyell Malen and turned to shoot a dangerous diagonal shot from the edge of the penalty area, equalizing 1-1 for the away team.
