Villa punish Lloris mistake to shock Spurs | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⚠️
Aston Villa’s Argentinian midfielder Emiliano Buendia scores the opening goal of the English Premier League football match between Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, on January 1, 2023.
Lloris was left on the bench for Tottenham’s draw against Brentford on December 26 as he rested after France’s agonising final loss in Qatar. Tottenham had hoped the first Premier League match of 2023 would serve to kick-start their bid to qualify for next season’s Champions League via a top four finish.Fifth placed Tottenham have failed to win both of their matches since the World Cup break, a dip in form which has allowed fourth placed Manchester United to climb two points above them.
Son Heung-min started the match once again wearing the mask he used during the World Cup to protect his fractured eye socket.
