New boss Remi Garde watched from the stands as Aston Villa suffered a seventh successive Premier League defeat at Tottenham.
Garde had barely taken his seat when Mousa Dembele went unchallenged before beating Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan.
Dele Alli doubled Spurs' lead from 18 yards as they extended their unbeaten run to 10 Premier League games.
Villa rallied as Jordan Ayew scored from the edge of the box but Harry Kane put the result beyond doubt late on.
Former Lyon boss Garde, who was announced as Villa's new manager hours before kick-off, saw a team which looked bereft of confidence in the first half but almost completed an unlikely turnaround as substitutes Ayew, Rudy Gestede and Carlos Gil gave them added purpose.
They remain four points from safety but Villa's second-half improvement offered encouragement for the Frenchman as they seek to add to their only league win of the season, earned on the opening day.
