Only a goal from Janelt Vitaly in the 29th minute separates these two London teams.
The Spurs were admirable for their work rate, fighting the mind but did not show so much quality in Brentford – who created the best chances – but did not take them.
A courageous head block from Richarlison After a powerful shot from Bryan Mbeumo in the first half, time has added the spirit of the Spurs today, but Brentford’s superiority is highlighted by expected objectives of 1.14 Against only 0.37 for Tottenham.
However, Angel Postcoglou will not care while his team fought in depth in an injury crisis.
