Tottenham 2-3 Aston Villa: A Clean Sweep the Wrong Way

Villa End Their Wait as Spurs’ Misery Continues

Debutant Johan Manzambi opened the scoring for Aston Villa in first-half injury time, and Nicolas Jackson doubled the lead in the 67th minute. Tottenham finally got off the mark for the season with two quick replies to level it up, but Emiliano Buendía settled it with a sublime finish from 25 yards to seal a 3-2 away win — Villa’s first victory of the campaign, and a fourth game without a win for Spurs at home.

Our Tottenham -0.5 handicap pick (52% confidence) needed a home win or draw and instead saw Spurs beaten. The Under 2.5 Goals read (61% confidence) was blown up once the sides combined for five goals, and the BTS: No call and 1-0 projected scoreline were both wrong once both Teams found the net repeatedly.
