What happened. Tottenham lost 3-2 at home to Aston Villa, with goals from Johan Manzambi, Nicolas Jackson and Emi Buendia handing Villa their first win of the season. Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke replied late for Spurs, but it was only a consolation.

• Spurs head into the international break without a Premier League win
• Tottenham sit in the relegation zone after the defeat
• Spurs have won only five of their last 36 matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Pressure mounts on Roberto De Zerbi as Spurs enter the international break winless and in the relegation zone.
