Jordan Nobbs' goal was her second in the WSL this seasonJordan Nobbs struck a wonderful winner as Aston Villa made light of suspended striker Rachel Daly's absence to beat Tottenham in the Women's Super League.
England midfielder Nobbs flashed home a superb first-time finish from 20 yards with the outside of her right boot to settle an entertaining encounter.
Adriana Leon had initially put Villa ahead, poking home inside Barbora Votikova's near post, but Amy James-Turner headed Spurs level from Eveliina Summanen's free-kick.
However, Nobbs won it in style - and almost scored a second to truly cement the points, steering Kenza Dali's inviting pull-back onto the crossbar.
Carla Ward's visitors were grateful to fine stops from Daphne van Domselaar either side of Nobbs' winner as she saved brilliantly from both Martha Thomas and Spurs substitute Jessica Naz.
Villa were without last season's Golden Boot winner Daly because of a three-game retrospective ban for elbowing Bristol City's Megan Connolly but closed within three points of sixth-placed Spurs with the win.
