LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Emi Buendia’s curling shot sealed a 2-1 comeback win for Aston Villa against Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday. The victory continued Villa’s resurgence after a desperate start to the season and denied Spurs the chance to provisionally move up to second in the standings.

After a slow start to the season, Aston Villa are on a good run of results with four straight wins now. I am still not convinced by their performances, though, and this will be a good test of where Unai Emery's side are really at and whether they have actually turned a corner or not.
