Video: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg fires Spurs ahead against Aston Villa

Spurs have taken the lead against Aston Villa after 26 minutes of action at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The goal came when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg won the ball just inside the Villa half and released Heung-min Son down the right-hand side, the Dane received the pass inside the D of the area and superbly passed the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

Harry Kane threatened to break the deadlock just minutes earlier when his quick-thinking from a long distance free kick nearly caught out Villa keeper Martinez.

It has been a much better opening half from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side compared to the debacle at the Emirates last weekend, the next goal in this one could be crucial.
