Tottenham Hotspur secured a 4-1 comeback win against Aston Villa, with Dominic Solanke scoring twice to help elevate his team to seventh place in the Premier League. The £65 million summer signing doubled his league goal tally with two quick goals in the second half, showcasing his skill as Spurs overturned a first-half deficit.
Villa initially led through Morgan Rogers, who capitalized on Tottenham’s defensive lapse after 32 minutes. Despite Villa’s well-organized defense, Spurs found momentum after halftime, with Brennan Johnson leveling the score following a pinpoint cross from Son Heung-min. Solanke then took center stage, scoring his first by lifting the ball over Emiliano Martinez from Dejan Kulusevski’s assist, and adding a second shortly afterward from Richarlison's pass.
James Maddison capped off the win with a brilliant free-kick in stoppage time, marking Tottenham’s second recent 4-1 home comeback victory. The win narrows their gap to the top four, with Tottenham showing resilience under manager Ange Postecoglou despite an uneven start to the season. Postecoglou praised his players, noting, “There is great belief in these players. We stick to our principles and when we do that we are hard to stop.”
