Tottenham Hotspur got their Premier League season off to the best possible start with victory over Aston Villa.
Goals from Tanguy Ndombele and a Harry Kane brace saw the north London side to a 3-1 victory after John McGinn gave the newly-promoted side a shock lead.
It was a victory that the Spurs fans will be hoping can set the bar for the season ahead.
Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping to guide his team to the Premier League title after an encouraging summer in the transfer market.
As well as Ndombele, Tottenham signed Jack Clarke, Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso as he looks to inject fresh energy into his first team squad.
By the time Spurs kicked off against Villa they were already chasing the pack after Liverpool and Manchester City recorded victories over Norwich City and West Ham.
Challenging for the title will be a big ask for Pochettino's young squad and speaking to Sky Sports, Spurs favourite Rafael Van der Vaart said that he thinks his former club will fall short over the course of the season.
Asked about Tottenham's title hopes, he said: "They're going to win (he joked). It's going to be so tough.
They are not strong enough to play through the whole season. Man City and Liverpool are too strong."
