Nicolas Jackson scored a powerful 67th-minute finish to make it 2-0 and register his first Premier League goal as Aston Villa beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2. Villa opened the scoring through Johan Manzambi, Jackson doubled the lead, and Emi Buendía added a late third in a gritty away performance in London. Tottenham pulled two consolation goals as Villa were under pressure for long stretches, leaving manager Unai Emery frustrated by the late anxiety. Jackson was substituted in the 88th minute and afterwards said he was "very happy" to have scored and to be back playing in the Premier League, adding that the squad must keep working to get results. The win gave Aston Villa their first Premier League victory of the season and closes the international break with three points and momentum.
