Manzambi catches eye as Villa beat Spurs - player ratings

Antonin Kinsky: Made a comfortable save from Manzambi's strike before a better one thwarted Buendia. There was little he could do to stop the goals. 6

Pedro Porro: Back after missing the draws against Nottingham Forest and Everton but his returned lasted 18 minutes as he limped off injured. Had made a positive start. 6

Jan Paul van Hecke: It looked a robust performance as he handled the nuisance of Jackson when Villa did venture forward but he was beaten by Manzambi to the ball for the opener. Scored late consolation. 6

Micky van de Ven: Took a blow to the face just before the break and was off the pitch for treatment when Villa scored, which summed up Spurs' afternoon. 5

Andrew Robertson: Made a mistake in trying to keep the ball in, which eventually led to Villa's first. Thought he had atoned, only to be ruled offside in the build-up to Kudus' disallowed goal. 5

Sandro Tonali: One first-half strike whistled wide but it was another underwhelming outing for the £100m midfielder. 5

Rodrigo Bentancur: Enjoyed the battle in an occasionally congested midfield but his influenced waned as the game wore on. 5

Savio: The forward should have put Spurs ahead early and an excellent volley was kept out by Suzuki, but after a strong opening 25 minutes he failed to build. 5

Mateus Fernandes: Replaced at half-time as Tottenham chased the game, the former West Ham midfielder the victim of the circumstances. 6

Omar Marmoush: The Manchester City loanee was brought in to get the goals but it was a listless display once the game started to go away from Tottenham. 5

Dominic Solanke: The striker has not scored in the Premier League since March and could not find a telling touch again. There was little to suggest his drought would end. 5

Subs:

Archie Gray (on 18, Porro): Could have scored with his first touch but was denied by Suzuki. That was as good as it got. 6

Mohammed Kudus (on 46, Fernandes): Came on with Tottenham needing more attacking impetus and had a goal disallowed but was not able to spark. 5

James Maddison (on 66, Solanke): The substitute was unable to make an impact from the bench. 5

Lucas Bergvall (on 84, Bentancur).

Conor Gallagher (on 84, Tonali). Late consolation was his second goal in successive games.

Subs not used: Dubravka, Tosin, Senesi, Udogie.

Zion Suzuki: Kept Villa level with saves from Savio and Archie Gray in the first half. A fine performance but his usually excellent distribution let him down. 8

Aaron Wan-Bissaka: The right-back has struggled to adapt quickly under Unai Emery. One slip almost cost Villa a goal and was little surprise he was withdrawn at half-time. 5

Tyrone Mings: Lost the ball several times as Villa played out from the back but rediscovered his composure after the break. 6

Victor Lindelof: Relatively untroubled in the second half after needing to be alert to Spurs' early threat. Once that died down, it was a comfortable afternoon. 7

Matteo Ruggeri: A full Premier League debut for the left-back but he did not look convincing as he tries to understand what is needed by Emery. 6

Joao Gomes: In his first Premier League appearance after his opening-weekend dismissal, the midfielder was solid and able to protect Villa's lead. 7

Boubacar Kamara: It was the midfielder's shot which fell into the path of Manzambi to score, and he was able to keep Villa moving. 7

John McGinn: His tenacity was rewarded as he seized on Roberton's error to help set up Manzambi's goal. A typically dynamic display. 7

Emi Buendia: The forward loves a goal at Tottenham and scored the pick of the bunch when he found the top corner from 25 yards to seal it. 7

Johan Manzambi: A goal and an assist on his full debut for Villa as he grew into the game after a slow start when Tottenham dominated. More will be expected once he settles in. 8

Nicolas Jackson: Isolated for long spells in the first half but got his goal in the second and was a nuisance. Had earlier forced Kinsky into a smartsave. 7

Subs

Matty Cash (on 46, Wan-Bissaka): The right-back returned from injury to help strengthen Villa's defence. 7

George Hemmings (on 72, Manzambi): Helped Villa to a comfortable win.

Ibrahim Mbaye (on 84, Kamara).

Ross Barkley (on 84, McGinn).

Unused subs: Wright, Bogarde, Abraham, Garnacho, Harwood-Bellis.
