Softfootball reports that Tottenham Hotspur finally ended their five-game Premier League winless streak with a convincing 2-0 victory over Brentford. The North Londoners looked composed and clinical, making the most of their chances while keeping a clean sheet for the third time this season.
In the pre-match report we expected Tottenham to try to overturn their recently abysmal home run that has seen them lose three straight home games, and they did with what many will call a statement performance to back the dramatic 2-2 draw they secured against Newcastle last time out.
Guglielmo Vicario, who had been jeered by some Spurs fans after an earlier mistake against Fulham, started brightly, pulling off a crucial stop to deny Brentford's in-form Igor Thiago at the near post.
