Keep checking back for regular updates.


Tottenham v Aston Villa

Scorers: Rogers 32′

Heung-min Son returned to the hosts’ line-up after missing their previous three games in all competitions.

Ange Postecoglou’s side enjoyed the best chance of a cagey opening stages when Son teed up Rodrigo Bentancur for a shot which he blazed over.

The Uruguayan went closer with an effort that clipped the topside of Emiliano Martínez’s netting from a similar long-range distance.

Amadou Onana forced Villa’s first real opening with a header which cannoned off Guglielmo Vicario’s lefthand post from a Lucas Digne cross.

But the visitors broke the deadlock just minutes later as Morgan Rogers converted another Digne delivery, this time from a corner.


Still to come

Manchester United face Chelsea as Ruud van Nistelrooy continues to take temporary charge of the hosts until Rúben Amorim’s arrival later this month.
