Full Time: Brentford 0-2 Tottenham
Spurs sub Pape Matar Sarr settled it with a second goal three minutes from time.
It’s a first Premier League win since mid-December and back-to-back victories for Tottenham. Yet while the players are lapping it up, the fans are still calling for chairman Daniel Levy’s head.
Tensions are running deeper than just results.
For Brentford the season is wobbling on. No home win for them since December 7 now but a more passive fanbase accepts defeat gracefully.
An own goal from Vitaly Janelt was a cruel way to go behind but despite Yoane Wissa hitting the bar and a few scrambled chances the finishing was poot from Thomas Frank’s team.
Injury depleted Spurs in a good frame of mind now for Thursday’s Carabao Cup semi final second leg at Liverpool where they will defend a 1-0 lead.
