Tottenham 3 Aston Villa 1 player ratings: Dembele, Alli, Kane and Ayew on target - but who was the best?
A look at the individual performances at White Hart Lane

New Aston Villa manager Remi Garde watched his team lose 3-1 at White Hart Lane on Monday night as Tottenham moved up to fifth in the Premier League table.
Villa remain bottom of the table after their seventh straight Premier League defeat, and despite showing the fight for a battle against relegation they need a dramatic turn around after taking only four points from their first 11 games.
Mousa Dembele fired Tottenham ahead after only three minutes and Dele Alli made it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time. Villa surprisingly pulled one back when Jordan Ayew's 79th minute shot was deflected but a fine strike from Harry Kane in stoppage time made sure of the win for Spurs.
So who impressed for Tottenham at White Hart Lane? Who will Garde have liked? And which players might not be in the side next week when the Frenchman properly takes over? We take a look at the individual performances...
