Spurs remember how to win at home as Xavi Simons solo goal helps sink Brentford
The healing process for Tottenham Hotspur is under way. This was a game that Thomas Frank could not afford to lose and he kept the boos at bay by producing a dominant performance to defeat his old club.
Spurs, victorious at home for the first time in the league since the opening weekend, were comfortable against a mediocre Brentford side. Richarlison opened the scoring and the highlight for Frank was a standout display from Xavi Simons. The £52m attacker made Richarlison’s goal and sealed Spurs’ first win in six games when he scored for the first time since joining in the summer from RB Leipzig.
