Manzambi catches eye as Villa beat Spurs - player ratings

4 hours ago 4

Antonin Kinsky: Made a comfortable save from Manzambi's strike before a better one thwarted Buendia. There was little he could do to stop the goals. 6

Pedro Porro: Back after missing the draws against Nottingham Forest and Everton but his returned lasted 18 minutes as he limped off injured. Had made a positive start. 6

Jan Paul van Hecke: It looked a robust performance as he handled the nuisance of Jackson when Villa did venture forward but he was beaten by Manzambi to the ball for the opener. Scored late consolation. 6

Micky van de Ven: Took a blow to the face just before the break and was off the pitch for treatment when Villa scored, which summed up Spurs' afternoon. 5

Andrew Robertson: Made a mistake in trying to keep the ball in, which eventually led to Villa's first. Thought he had atoned, only to be ruled offside in the build-up to Kudus' disallowed goal. 5

Sandro Tonali: One first-half strike whistled wide but it was another underwhelming outing for the £100m midfielder. 5

Rodrigo Bentancur: Enjoyed the battle in an occasionally congested midfield but his influenced waned as the game wore on. 5

Savio: The forward should have put Spurs ahead early and an excellent volley was kept out by Suzuki, but after a strong opening 25 minutes he failed to build. 5

Mateus Fernandes: Replaced at half-time as Tottenham chased the game, the former West Ham midfielder the victim of the circumstances. 6

Omar Marmoush: The Manchester City loanee was brought in to get the goals but it was a listless display once the game started to go away from Tottenham. 5

Dominic Solanke: The striker has not scored in the Premier League since March and could not find a telling touch again. There was little to suggest his drought would end. 5

Subs:

Archie Gray (on 18, Porro): Could have scored with his first touch but was denied by Suzuki. That was as good as it got. 6

Mohammed Kudus (on 46, Fernandes): Came on with Tottenham needing more attacking impetus and had a goal disallowed but was not able to spark. 5

James Maddison (on 66, Solanke): The substitute was unable to make an impact from the bench. 5

Lucas Bergvall (on 84, Bentancur).

Conor Gallagher (on 84, Tonali). Late consolation was his second goal in successive games.

Subs not used: Dubravka, Tosin, Senesi, Udogie.
