Overview
- Spurs beat Brentford 2-0 at home, with Richarlison scoring on 25 minutes before Xavi Simons added a solo goal on 43 minutes.
- Simons made his first start since early November, supplying the opener and netting his first Tottenham goal in a standout performance.
- The result marked just Tottenham’s second Premier League home win of the season, easing recent pressure on Thomas Frank.
- Frank confirmed left-back Destiny Udogie suffered a hamstring injury at Newcastle and will be sidelined until January.
- Randal Kolo Muani was seen limping after being substituted on 74 minutes, with Frank later reporting positive news on his fitness as Brennan Johnson remains touch and go for Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Slavia Prague, where a win would boost Spurs’ bid for an automatic knockout berth.
