Aston Villa defeated Tottenham 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 19, 2026. Johan Manzambi, Nicolas Jackson, and Emi Buendia scored for the visitors, while Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke provided the goals for Tottenham.
This result leaves Tottenham with two points from their opening five Premier League matches. This performance marks the club's worst start to a top-flight season since 2008-09 and the first time since 1986 that the team has failed to win any of its first five league games.
Following the match, Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi described his team as "too fragile." The defeat also extends a trend for the club, which has now failed to win any of its last 36 Premier League matches when conceding the first goal.
