Tottenham Hotspur built on their triumph over Manchester United by dismissing Aston Villa 2-0 at White Hart Lane. The victory meant that Spurs' France international goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, in for Brad Friedel, kept a clean sheet on his Premier League debut.
Defender Steven Caulker broke the deadlock early in the second period, ghosting in to convert Gareth Bale's cross, and Aaron Lennon made it two shortly afterwards, cutting inside and driving a shot into the corner.
Aston Villa defender Joe Bennett was stretchered off late on with a serious-looking leg injury, having made an awkward landing.
Man.united will beat tottenham in the return leg.Trust me for that
that team is on fire now.
