Spurs won 3-1 via goals from a Dominic Solanke penalty, Brennan Johnson and James Maddison. The manager later said, "It was a good win, a good performance. Our performances have been good all year but today we got the result as well which is the most pleasing but. We should have won by a fair bit more but we still got the job done."

But after the match at Tottenham on Saturday, there will be a sense that they played a significant part in their own downfall. Having taken the lead, Brentford were quickly put under huge pressure by Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou said on Friday his side's consistently dominant performances can steer them to a much-needed second win in the Premier League this season at home to Brentford despite not having the results to show for it.
