Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo secured a valuable 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs lost back-to-back games 3-0 against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, before a devastating 3-1 loss to arch-rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
Former Wolves manager Nuno is yet to experience a Premier League win since he was named Manager of the Month back in August, but corrected that record as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and a Matt Targett own goal secured a valuable three points.
Ollie Watkins struck for Villa but it wasn’t enough to see Dean Smith’s side to a positive result.

Unfortunately, the game is not being televised in the UK as it was originally supposed to be played during the traditional Saturday afternoon slot.
But Tottenham’s European efforts have meant the game was moved, with Leicester City’s trip to Crystal Palace chosen for Sky coverage instead.
Highlights from the game will be on various media channels later but international viewers can watch live depending on location.
Updates will be on talkSPORT throughout the afternoon.
