Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed his profound frustration after furious supporters booed his team off the pitch following a dismal 3-2 Premier League defeat. The hostile reaction from the stands came after a catastrophic defensive display against Aston Villa, leaving the winless north London club in an early-season crisis.
Tottenham's dismal start to the Premier League campaign continued as Aston Villa claimed a dramatic 3-2 victory in North London. Roberto De Zerbi's side remain winless after five league matches, while Unai Emery's visitors picked up their first three points of the season.
Aston Villa defender Victor Lindelof is relishing Saturday's trip to face Tottenham Hotspur, insisting the squad remain confident despite a modest points return in the opening weeks of the season. The Sweden international believes the rising expectations around the club can spur them on to claim a vital victory in north London.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Roberto De Zerbi has hailed the impending return of Dejan Kulusevski, describing the Swedish playmaker as being akin to a "new signing" for the North London club. The creative midfielder has been sidelined for nearly two years, but his recent return to full training has sparked major optimism at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Former Tottenham striker Bobby Zamora has boldly predicted to GOAL that the north London outfit will “be in the top 10” when the 2026-27 Premier League campaign comes to a close. Spurs have not scaled such heights for some time now, having become stuck in a rut, but are expected to become upwardly mobile before fully awakening from their slumber next season.
James Maddison could be the key to unlock true potential at Tottenham, Danny Murphy has told GOAL, with the “unique” playmaker having been missed “terribly” during unfortunate injury absences. The England international is still being nursed back to full fitness following ACL damage, with Spurs crying out for his creativity after making another slow start in 2026-27.
