It took them – check notes – eight hours and 15 minutes of playing time just to score again in the Premier League. That's how long it was between Palhinha's winner against Everton on May 24, which kept Spurs in the Premier League, and Connor Gallagher's consolation goal today in a 3-2 home loss to Aston Villa.That Gallagher's late goal, which ended the dreadful drought, followed by Van Hecke's in stoppage time, was seen by only a few thousand home fans, as the majority of them flooded the gates of the new White Hart Lane a few minutes before. They couldn't stand the fact that Roberto De Zerbi's side lost another EPL match, keeping them in the relegation zone.YOU CAN SEE MANZAMBI'S GOAL HERETottenham and Aston Villa came into their fifth-round meeting with just three points and one goal between them from their opening four Premier League games.It was Villa's first league win of the season and their third victory in the last four games in all competitions, suggesting the Birmingham side are finally finding their feet. Even better for their supporters, two of the goals involved Johan Manzambi, the club's record signing, making his first EPL start.Yet Tottenham will feel this was another game in which they were punished for their misfortune, and for the brilliance of Zion Suzuki.##LINKED_NEWS_69119##The Japanese goalkeeper produced a superb first half, denying Savinho twice in the same attack in the 11th minute before somehow keeping out Archie Grey with his foot on the goal line nine minutes later. He then stopped Savinho again from distance immediately after the resulting corner.At one point, Spurs had enjoyed 86 per cent possession, but Unai Emery's side gradually grew into the game. And then came another dose of Tottenham bad luck.Pedro Porro went off injured in the 17th minute, just after returning to the team, while Micky van de Ven suffered a nasty facial injury in the 45th. As the Dutchman received treatment off the pitch, Tottenham were temporarily left with a hole in their defence – and Villa exploited it.##LINKED_NEWS_69115##Andy Robertson tried to prevent the ball from going out for a corner but instead gifted possession to John McGinn. He found Boubacar Kamara, whose pass released Manzambi, and the Swiss duly finished to give Villa the lead in first-half stoppage time, 0-1.Tottenham's misery continued after the break. They thought they had equalised through Mohammed Kudus, only for Robertson to be caught offside in the build-up. De Zerbi could only laugh ironically and embrace the assistant referee as the home fans held their heads in disbelief.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The worst was yet to come. Nicolas Jackson embarrassed Van de Ven with a brilliant piece of skill before finishing Manzambi's pass, while Emiliano Buendia added a spectacular third from distance.Manzambi became only the second Villa player to score and assist on his first Premier League start for the club, after Kevin Phillips in 2005.Gallagher and Van Hecke made it 2-3 after all, but it was too little, too late.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 5FridayBrentford – Chelsea 3-0 (0-0)/Anthony 61, Thiago 83, Carvalho 90+4/SaturdayTottenham – Aston Villa 2-3 (0-1)/Gallagher 87, Van Hecke 90+8 – Manzambi 45+4, Jackson 67, Buendia 79/17.00: (4.80) Brighton (4.00) Arsenal (1.70)17.00: (1.80) Everton (3.60) Ipswich (4.60)17.00: (1.63) Newcastle (3.90) Hull (5.50)19.30: (1.62) Nott.Forest (4.10) Coventry (5.35)Sunday16.00: (3.15) Bournemouth (3.60) Liverpool (2.20)16.00: (1.80) Leeds (3.60) Crystal Palace (4.60)16.00: (1.30) Man City (5.50) Sunderland (10.0)18.30: (3.40) Fulham (3.50) Man.Utd.
