Tottenham Hotspur scored three times late in the game to come from behind and beat Aston Villa 3-1 in their Premier League opener.

Aston Villa took a shock lead in ninth minute when Davinson Sanchez let a long ball from Tyrone Mings bounce through, but it fell to John McGinn who turned inside, leaving Danny Rose on the deck, and coolly slotted past Hugo Lloris.

Tottenham probed at the Villa defence in search of an equaliser without really looking threatening until Christian Eriksen was introduced from the bench, and the goal came indirectly from his involvement.

Eriksen's cross from the right was beautifully delivered into the danger area, only for Davinson Sanchez to see his attempt saved by Tom Heaton. The ball fall to Lucas Moura, who laid the ball off for debutant Tanguy Ndombele to calmly side-foot home from the edge of the area.

Eriksen then almost won the game with a free kick but for a sensational save from Heaton low to his right.

Spurs did get the second goal, and the three points, five minutes from time through England captain Harry Kane. Jack Grealish hesitated on the ball on the edge of the area, and he was robbed by Erik Lamela whose shot deflected off two defenders and fell to Kane, who dispatched past Heaton.

Kane made sure of the victory in the final minute with a fine arrowed finish from just inside the box, assisted by Moussa Sissoko.
