Tottenham got away with the scare – turned around to win at home against Brentford – Dagsavisen

by time news

Tottenham thus climbed to 4th place in the table, eight points behind league leader Liverpool.

However, the hosts made a terrible start to the game as Neal Maupay tapped Brentford into the lead after just a quarter of an hour.

After the break, however, Spurs hit back hard as Destiny Udogie equalized first, before Brennan Johnson completed the turnaround just a minute later. On-loan Timo Werner assisted both goals.

And Tottenham wasn’t done there. Seven minutes later, Richarlison picked up a rebound and slotted home Spurs’ third goal of the evening.

Admittedly, there was some tension at the end of the match when Ivan Toney reduced the score to 2-3, but it was also the last score of the match.

Kristoffer Ajer came on from the bench after 78 minutes for Brentford.

Tottenham had to manage without Son Heung-min, Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma who represent their respective national teams in the Asian and African championships.
