Aston Villa didn't kick off their Premier League return in winning fashion but there were plenty of positives to take from the game.
Beginning your first top-flight campaign in three seasons against the Champions League runners-up, Tottenham Hotspur was never going to be an easy task.
Villa took the lead and looked competent for large periods of the game but it was a mistake from club captain Jack Grealish, who was caught on the ball close to his own box, that cost the Villans a goal.
Following the match, he tweeted his thoughts:
A number of Villa supporters reacted by throwing their weight behind the 23-year-old and the team.
One fan said it was because of him that the club are in the Premier League playing Champions League opposition rather than playing a team of Luton Town's calibre whilst another added that it was a brilliant effort to keep them at bay for 75 minutes.
Others asked the midfielder to prove people wrong with one supporter claiming that it was a learning curve, using the old cliche that Rome wasn't built in a day in comparison to Villa's ambitions.
Here's the best of the reaction...
