The main talking points from the win over Aston Villa

On Sunday afternoon, we saw Tottenham Hotspur get back to winning ways in the Premier League, with a come from behind 4-1 victory over Unai Emery's Aston Villa side. The football cliche "game of two halves" felt very prominent. But what can we take from the game?

Pape Sarr has to be an undisputed starter when it comes to the first choice XI. His energy in there is just so incredible, and he is improving on the ball. The midfielder recovered the ball 13 times in Sunday's win. The way he won the ball back for the third goal and drove forward to help create the goal was unbelievable. The 22-year old also won the ball back nine times in the middle third - a Premier League season record.

When Emery introduced Jhon Duran for Morgan Rogers, there was more space in the midfield for Spurs to exploit, and Sarr did exactly that. He had the license to push through the centre of the pitch and start attacks. He is taking more on ball responsibility than he was before, as well as being his usual, excellent self off the ball.

In just 25 minutes, we saw the best and worst traits of Richarlison - at the same time. A superb, high IQ ball for Solanke to tap home for his second goal of the game, whilst getting injured at the same time. His lack of availability has been so, so frustrating, because he would be such a useful option to have both off the left and up front.

Ben Davies showed that he can be a useful squad player. An apology to the Welshman, after saying that Sarr had won the ball back for the second goal, when it was actually Davies. A really, really well timed intervention to stop a dangerous Villa transition - and within 15 seconds Spurs have the ball in the back of the net.

He's clearly not a flashy player, but his experience can be invaluable. He is also better on the ball than some people give him credit for. With van de Ven's injury, and Romero's proness to missing a game here and there - the 31-year old is going to be needed this season, and likely even this week.

Dejan Kulusevski might be the best performing midfielder in the Premier League this season. He was not having the best game, but had the vision to slip Solanke through on goal, with an incredibly weighted pass. The IQ to play that pass, knowing he was onside (very tight), when the chance for a shot himself was also on - just cannot be overstated so good .

The best players can produce when they are having an off day. Too many players need the perfect conditions, to have played really well - in order to produce a goal or assist. Not Kulusevski. The serious signs of a top, top player.

Much like Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson's movement means he will always be a goal threat. Similar to Kulsuevski, he doesn't need to be playing well in order to score. His back post movement is absolutely exceptional. There might be more 'gifted' players than Johnson - who stand there with their hands on their hips as a ball comes across goal - but not him.

Solanke showed once again that he just needs the service. His movement is always top drawer - it just boils down to service. Do you think in the six games he had without a shot on target, that he just forgot to move in and around the box? Four goals in eight Premier League games is a good return - especially when you consider just how much else he offers the team.

Ange really got the subs right. There was some resentment after he replaced Son. Some understood why, but the reaction of Son himself cast the doubts in some people's minds. It all comes down to - would you rather lose the captain for 35 minutes, or another three weeks?

The fact Son had just provided a world class assist for Johnson probably confused fans a bit more so, too. Alls wells that ends well, and it certainly ended well here. Richarlison provided an assist for Solanke, and even his substitute James Maddison scored.

Yves Bissouma made a couple of important recoveries to prevent Villa counters, and Destiny Udogie was able to finally get a small amount of rest. The squad is going to be really stretched over the next few weeks, so squad management is going to need to be spot on.
