Aston Villa started the game strongly and looked the part in the top-flight as the gave the Champions League finalists a run for their money.

Spurs were pegged back in the opening exchanges and Villa announced their return to Premier League in style.

Tyrone Mings' long ball was controlled and slotted into the back of the net coolly by John McGinn as the newly-promoted side registered a shock lead.

The Claret and Blue Army maintained their shape and looked solid in the first-half but they were given a timely reminder of the harsh reality of the Premier League.

Spurs took initiative in the second half and although Villa did their best to absorb all the pressure, the London side hit back to cap off a whirlwind second half.

The first half was in stark contrast to the second for the visitors and the newly-promoted side will look to see out games better as they aim to sustain their stay in the top-flight.
