Tottenham Hotspur snapped their four-game Premier League losing streak with a 2-0 win against Brentford, though the match was overshadowed by vocal protests from Spurs fans calling for chairman Daniel Levy’s resignation.
The breakthrough came in the 29th minute under fortunate circumstances. Son Heung-min’s superb inswinging corner from the left struck Brentford midfielder Vitaly Janelt in a congested penalty area and ricocheted into his own net.
Substitute Pape Matar Sarr sealed the victory late on, racing onto an excellent through ball from Son and calmly flicking the ball past Brentford goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson.
Despite the much-needed win, chants of “We want Levy out” echoed throughout the game, as Spurs remain languishing in the bottom half of the table.
Brentford, who boast one of the league’s best home scoring records, struggled to break down a resolute Tottenham defense.
Antonin Kinsky, deputizing in the Spurs goal, made crucial saves to deny Christian Nørgaard and Bryan Mbeumo, while Yoane Wissa narrowly missed the target with a glancing header.
The result lifts some pressure off Tottenham, but fan unrest highlights deeper dissatisfaction at the club as they look to rebuild momentum in the league.
