Brentford utterly dominated Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium, running out 3-0 winners in a performance that saw the hosts boss proceedings despite having less of the ball. Spurs couldn't get going and fell behind twice before half-time, leaving themselves with a mountain to climb in the second half. Brentford peppered the Tottenham goal with 26 shots, eight of them on target, while the visitors managed just nine attempts throughout the 90 minutes. Caoimhin Kelleher was outstanding in Brentford's goal, keeping a clean sheet with a string of confident saves and distribution that earned him the man of the match award. The home side's dominance was complete—they won seven corners to Tottenham's three and never looked troubled once they'd established their two-goal cushion. It's a statement win that shows Brentford can compete with anyone on their day, while Tottenham have some serious questions to answer about their performance.
