Dominic Solanke scored twice as Tottenham came from behind to earn victory over Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The £65m summer signing doubled his league goal tally for the season with two goals in four second-half minutes as Ange Postecoglou’s side climbed to seventh in the table.
Solanke put Spurs ahead with a delightful first by lifting the ball over the onrushing Emiliano Martinez from Dejan Kulusevski’s pass, before Richarlison picked out his team-mate to slot in and put a late fightback beyond Villa.
Morgan Rogers had given Villa the lead with the game’s first shot on target after 32 minutes, profiting after Spurs failed to deal with Lucas Digne’s in-swinging corner.
Brennan Johnson met Son Heung-min’s excellent cross from the left, transforming the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and laying the foundations for his side’s latest comeback.
Substitute James Maddison then added a fourth with a wonderful free-kick deep in stoppage-time as Spurs repeated their 4-1 win from a goal behind against West Ham in their previous home league game.
Victory ensured Tottenham reduced the gap to the top four following last week’s loss at Crystal Palace, with fourth-placed Arsenal two points ahead, as fifth-placed Villa missed the chance to go third.
