Brentford vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League results and reaction as Spurs secure much-needed win

Brentford 0-2 Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou’s team move up to 14th in the table

Postecoglou feeling 'no pressure' despite poor form

Tottenham ended their winless streak in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Spurs, who came into the match on a seven-match winless run, were under pressure to perform and for large parts of the match were second best. Brentford were the greater attacking force and Tottenham’s dogged defence limited the space and chances of the hosts.

The opener came from a set piece. Heung-Min Son swung a corner into the box and Spurs went ahead as a deflection off the back of Vitaly Janelt sent the ball over the line.

With a lead to protect, Tottenham dug in and used the pace of Son and Richarlison to get them up the pitch and relieve pressure. In the closing minute Pape Matar Sarr decided the match with a goal of his own as Spurs doubled their lead.

Ange Postecoglou’s side jump up to 14th and can take heart from a pleasing performance.

Brentford vs Tottenham

Tottenham will be out to end their winless Premier League run as they travel across London to face Brentford.

Spurs have lost four top-flight games in a row, with just one win in their last 11 league fixtures, to plummet down the table.

But Ange Postecoglou’s side claimed a morale-boosting win over Elfsborg in the Europa League on Thursday.

Goals from Dane Scarlett, Damola Ajayi and Mikey Moore to secure qualification for the last-16 were a timely boost.

Brentford sit above Spurs in the table and should pose a tough test, with Thomas Frank’s side boasting a strong home record.
