Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison has backed Tottenham to "still have a good season", despite their poor start in Roberto de Zerbi's first full campaign in charge.

Saturday's 3-2 defeat by Aston Villa has left Spurs rooted to the bottom of the Premier League going into the international break, but they did score league goals for the first time in 2026-27.

"Spurs were the better team in that first half and [Zion] Suzuki made three or four outstanding saves," Morrison told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.

"I feel like we've been saying this a lot with Tottenham so far this season - dominating matches, not being clinical enough, and then getting punished.

"The defending is nowhere near good enough and they are conceding too many easy goals at the moment. It is a recipe for disaster.

"But, I do think they will turn it around and I do think they will have a good season.

"When it clicks for them, they are going to give some team a hiding very soon.

"I think they have good attacking players, they will score goals and win games at some point.
