Tottenham Hotspur rounded out a phenomenal week as they came from behind to defeat Champions League rivals Aston Villa 4-1 in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, with Dominic Solanke scoring a quickfire double to help give the hosts all three points.

The match was largely played inside Aston Villa's half during the opening 20 minutes, with Tottenham's high press stopping the visitors from being able to play out from the back, but despite the control, the hosts failed to truly threaten the opposition goal as the match remained goalless.

The visitors did begin to grow into the game as it headed towards the half-hour mark, and it was Aston Villa who actually took the lead against the run of play when a corner was poorly dealt with by Spurs, with Morgan Rogers reacting fastest to the loose ball and smashing into the net from close range.

Just after the restart and Tottenham pulled themselves level, with Brennan Johnson beating Solanke to convert a beautiful cross from Heung-min Son at the back post.

The game was marred by injuries and stoppages following the goal, with both teams forced into making numerous changes due to injury concerns, which significantly disrupted the tempo of the match as a result.

Tottenham eventually took the lead with 15 minutes remaining when a brilliant piece of build-up play saw Dejan Kulusevski slide Solanke through on goal, with the striker deftly chipping Emi Martinez to make it 2-1.

Minutes later and the hosts had doubled their lead, with Solanke securing his second of the day as he raced onto Richarlison's cutback cross and easily converted into the net.

James Maddison added the cherry on top for Spurs as he breathtakingly curled his freekick around the Aston Villa wall and into the top right corner, a sensational strike from the midfielder.

Son gathers the ball wide on the left and initially looks to take on his marker before shifting the ball to his left foot and whipping a beautifully curved, inviting cross into the box.

Solanke looks certain to get a touch and score the equaliser, but Johnson comes steaming in from the back post to get the first touch and level the game.

MAN OF THE MATCH - DOMINIC SOLANKE

Solanke was the game-winner for Tottenham Hotspur, scoring a quickfire double with goals in the 75th and 79th minutes, putting the game out of reach for Aston Villa.

Despite rarely getting involved in the game, it was a true poacher's performance from the striker as he scored two well-taken goals, something that will certainly please Ange Postecoglou.

Amadou Onana also deserves a mention, as the midfielder dominated the middle of the park for large parts of the game despite ultimately being on the losing side.
