The visitors were the better team in the first period and were frustrated to see an early Dan Ballard goal chalked out because Kevin Danso was ruled offside.

Sangare shines as Brentford's superior togetherness gives new-look Spurs a humbling run-around
Big bus, big fuss. But it didn't translate into points on this occasion : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Brentford (2) 3 Lewis-Potter 12, Janelt 32, Kayode 50 Tottenham Hotspur (0) 0 So much for all that spending in N17. Sometimes nothing compares to ingrained well-established practices and continuity.
