TOTTENHAM FIGHT TO WIN THE THRILLER AGAINST BRENTFORD

Tottenham Hotspur staged a stunning second-half comeback to defeat plucky Brentford in a moody 3-2 victory in north London.

The visitors took a deserved half-time lead in a tense first half, with Neal Maupay rallying after Ivan Toney’s shot was saved.

But a rejuvenated Spurs team destroyed Brentford in an impressive start to the second half, scoring three times in the first ten minutes, while Destiny Udogie and half-time substitute Brennan Johnson scored to spark jubilant celebrations among the home faithful.

Richarlison made it 3-1 after James Maddison’s shot deflected towards him in the box, and that looked like the game in the bag for Spurs.

But a mistake by Udogie, who missed Toney in an offside position and played a backward pass, allowed the Brentford centre-forward to score a second in his two games since returning to action.

Spurs held on in a nervy eight minutes of added time to record a win that moves them into the top four of the Premier League.
