December 3, 2021 Conte’s Unbeaten League Run Continues As Spurs Defeat Brentford

Antonio Conte's unbeaten league start as Tottenham head coach continued as the London side kept pace with the top four with a comfortable win over a profligate Brentford.

A 12th-minute own goal from right wing-back Sergi Canos handed the home side the lead, before Son Heung-min finished off a scintillating counter-attack by slotting home in the second half.

The opener came from a Son dinked cross after a short corner early on in the game, with Pontus Jansson's clearing header ricocheting off Ben Davies and onto Canos' path before flying into the roof of the net.

Spurs, taking the initiative, pressed on to increase their lead, with Son denied from range in the first half, while Harry Kane saw a one-on-one effort well saved by Alvaro Fernandez after the break.

Son got the goal that his performance, and Spurs' display, deserved when he latched onto Sergio Reguilon's cross to tap home from six yards.

It was a poor outing from Thomas Frank's side who have now recorded a third loss in their last three games, with their only shot on target in the whole game a tame left-footed effort from Ivan Toney.

The win ensured Tottenham's climb to sixth - two points behind West Ham in fourth - while Brentford slipped to 12th.
