Good evening and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Tottenham and Aston Villa at White Hart Lane. The in-form hosts are aiming for a victory that would move them fifth and to within one point of the top four while the rock-bottom Villans will hope today's confirmation of Remi Garde's appointment as their new manager will galvanize them into getting a much-needed result after just one victory in 10 league outings so far.

Highlights

90+4'

FT: Spurs move up to fifth as they made it 10 matches unbeaten with a 3-1 success. Kane sealed it after Ayew had made a procession for the hosts more interesting when he reduced the arrears 11 minutes from the end. Much food for thought for Garde as he prepares to take over rock-bottom Villa.

90+3'

GOAL!!!! Spurs finish the job on the counter. With Villa stretched Eriksen tees up Lamela who then puts it on a plate for Kane to sizzle a first-time shot into the corner. Game over!

90+3'

Hutton booked for flying into a challenge on Mason.

90+2'

A Spurs break sees Onomah lead the charge and force a save out of Guzan from distance.

90+1'

Four minutes added.

90'

Alderweireld earns a corner on the left and urges the Spurs fans to get behind their side. Not long left now.

89'

SPURS SUB: Alli off, Josh Onomah on for his PL debut.

88'

Corner for Spurs greeted by huge cheers. The fans recognising that this is a nervy finale.

87'

Spurs trying to turn the tide back in their favour now with a bit of possession.

86'

We've suddenly got a decent game on our hands after a dour second period. That goal for Ayew has seen Villa grow in belief - but is time against them?

85'

CLOSE! Ayew surges in from the left and arrows a dipping shot that flies just over the bar. Where was this earlier from Villa?

84'

Spurs hanging on a bit at the moment. Villa have their tails up.

83'

LET OFF FOR LLORIS. Bacuna lifts a high, hopeful ball towards Gestede. Lloris inexplicably comes out and doesn't get there, but Gestede's header bounces wide of the empty goal.

82'

SPURS SUB: Ben Davies on, the injured Rose off.

81'

Spurs down to 10 men as rose hobbles off.

79'

GOAL! Are Villa back in this? Ayew hits a 25-yard shot that takes a big deflection off and Vertonghen and flies into the net. Lloris was completely wrong-footed there.

78'

OFF THE POST! Villa work the ball well to give Bacuna a sight of goal and he sees a low shot bounce back off the post.

77'

Lamela shoots... wide.

76'

Great defending by Rose. A neat Villa move frees Hutton down the right. The full back looks to be getting to the byline but Rose comes from nowhere to block the cross onto the Villa man and out for a goal kick.

74'

The corner comes to nothing but that passage of play seems to have sparked a little bit of fight in Villa.
