Ange Postecoglou Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory over Brentford, ending a run of four consecutive losses and claiming their first Premier League win since December 15.

Son Heung-min's corner led to an own goal by Vitaly Janelt, and Pape Sarr sealed the win late on. Spurs' defense impressed, limiting Brentford to just four shots on target despite the home side registering 38 crosses. Coach Ange Postecoglou praised his team's defensive display, calling it their best of the season. Youngster Archie Gray emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum.

Brentford, despite 20 shots and 2.29 expected goals, failed to score. Manager Thomas Frank acknowledged Tottenham's solid defense and lamented missed opportunities, particularly from set-pieces, as key to their defeat.
