TOTTENHAM CAME FROM behind to beat 10-man Villa 2-1, with 21-year-old substitute Harry Kane’s deflected free-kick in the 90th minute sealing victory for the visitors.
Andreas Weimann’s 16th-minute goal gave Villa the lead but the hosts had to play the final 25 minutes a man down after striker Christian Benteke was shown a red card for a slap on the face of Spurs’ Ryan Mason.
Spurs eventually made their advantage pay by scoring two goals inside the final six minutes at Villa Park.
Nacer Chadli struck from a corner before rising star Kane, a life-long fan of north London club Spurs and a product of their youth system, grabbed the winner.
Victory saw Spurs climb to eighth place, six points above the relegation zone.
But Villa’s sixth loss in a row meant they remained just two points above the bottom three.
