LONDON: Heung-min Son pulled Tottenham back into winning form after three successive Premier League defeats by laying on both goals in a 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Son set up Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the first half and Lucas Moura to force an own goal from Matt Targett in the second. However Harry Kane, despite a midweek Conference League hat-trick against NS Mura of Slovenia, is still awaiting his first Premier goal.

Brentford upset West Ham after the Hammers’ three successive wins in all competitions.

Yoane Wissa followed up his late equaliser against Liverpool the previous weekend with a stoppage-time derby winner. Thomas Frank’s promoted west Londoners deserved the three points.

Poor home form has marred the Hammers’ European hopes. They have won only once this season at the London Olympic Stadium.

Inconsistent Leicester threw away a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace.

The Foxes were in command at the interval but then conceded goals to two former Leicester players in substitutes Michael Olise and Jeffrey Schlupp. Palace are unbeaten at home under new manager Patrick Vieira.

This was the first time since October 2003 that Leicester have failed to win a league game in which they were leading by at least two goals at half-time.

** Watford sacked manager Xisco Munoz after Saturday’s 1-0 defeat by Leeds. The Spaniard, 41, had been in the job only 10 months after bringing Watford back into the Premier League this season.

A club statement said “recent performances strongly indicate a negative trend.”
