Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-0 win against Brentford ended the team’s seven-game winless run on Sunday at the Gtech Community Stadium. The team under the head coach had earlier lost four consecutive Premier League matches after the last time they defeated Southampton 5-0 on December 15.
Tottenham Hotspur scored the match’s first goal through an own goal committed by Brentford’s Vitaly Janelt. He mistakenly fired Son Heung-min’s corner against his goalkeeper. Brentford did not relent, but their effort was not enough to break Tottenham’s defense.
As the game was coming to an end, Djed Spence saved his team by clearing a goal-line opportunity to deny Fabio Carvalho from recording a goal to his name. Tottenham’s second goal came in the 87th minute through Pape Sarr after capitalizing on Brentford’s defensive error.
This loss signals another heartbreaking moment for Brentford, which has lost five of its last six matches across all competitions. The team continues to struggle to turn things around.
This win has now moved Spurs to 14th place in the Premier League, sharing the same points with West Ham but heading on goal difference. and moved four points behind Brentford in 11th position of the Premier League.
