Goal and assist in full debut

Manzambi scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Analysis: Manzambi made his first start for Villa away at Tottenham after an injury delayed his start to the campaign, marking the milestone with both a goal and an assist. The Switzerland international came into the starting XI at the expense of George Hemmings and provided Villa with a lethal threat on the counter alongside Nicolas Jackson, as the duo's blistering pace exploited Tottenham's defense whenever the hosts were exposed. He consistently drifted into dangerous areas, registering three additional shots, carving out another clear-cut chance for Jackson, and winning two fouls, while also prevailing in four of his seven duels before being replaced by Hemmings in the 72nd minute. It was an impressive full debut that should lock down his spot in the starting lineup so long as he remains fit.

Makes first Premier League appearance

Manzambi registered one tackle (zero won) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Analysis: Manzambi came on in the 63rd minute, winning zero of one tackle attempts across 27 minutes as Villa pushed for a response to Liam Delap's opener before Alysson's equalizer changed the dynamic. He was unable to make a meaningful attacking contribution in his limited time on the pitch for his first appearance in the Premier League. Manzambi will look to build on his fitness in the coming fixtures as he is expected to be one of the players to watch in the Premier League after his decent World Cup with Switzerland.
