Tottenham vs. Aston Villa: Head-to-head record and past meetings after Premier League comeback

Aston Villa earned their fifth win in a row across all competitions on Sunday when they came from behind in the Premier League to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Thomas Frank's Londoners raced into an early lead thanks to a half-volley from Rodrigo Bentancur in the opening minutes, but Morgan Rogers struck powerfully beyond Guglielmo Vicario to level the game in the first half, before Emiliano Buendia curled a precise finish into the bottom-left corner to complete the comeback in the second.

After that victory for former Arsenal boss Unai Emery, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Spurs and Aston Villa.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 178

Spurs wins: 79

Draws: 36

Aston Villa wins: 63

Tottenham Hotspur boast the advantage over Aston Villa when it comes to battles between the sides, winning 79 of their 178 clashes against their opponents while losing 63 times.

Since the turn of the century, the Lions have won 14 of their 49 meetings with the Londoners, succumbing to defeat on 25 occasions.

However, it should be noted that Villa have triumphed in six of their last eight in all competitions against Spurs, suffering losses in the other two fixtures in that time.

Tottenham have won two of their past four Premier League matches against the West Midlands side, with boss Ange Postecoglou overseeing a dominant 4-1 victory at home in November 2024.

Villa boss Unai Emery managed to exact revenge in the FA Cup four months later, winning 2-1 thanks to strikes from Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey, the latter of whom netted in the first minute.

Emery would also help lead his side to a 2-0 win at Villa Park in the Premier League in May 2025 in the penultimate game of the 2024-25 season.

Most recently, Thomas Frank's Tottenham welcomed the Villans to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in October 2025, and despite taking the lead through a Rodrigo Bentancur strike within the opening five minutes of the contest, the hosts were beaten 2-1 courtesy of two excellent goals from outside the box by Morgan Rogers and Emiliano Buendia.

At least three goals have been scored in six of the clubs' last seven matchups, with Spurs scoring four goals in two of those outings.

Tottenham managed to beat the Lions 4-0 at Villa Park in their 2023-24 Premier League visit to the stadium in March 2024, and they won eight of their prior nine at the ground.

Remarkably, there has not been a single draw between Tottenham and Villa in 22 Premier League meetings - the joint-second longest streak of any top-flight fixture - as the two sides last shared the spoils all the way back in May 2012, when Ciaran Clark and Emmanuel Adebayor were on target for their respective teams.

The North London giants also lead the way in terms of individual scorers in this head-to-head - no player has managed more than Bobby Smith's 12 for Spurs against Villa, while former Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is not too far behind with seven.
