Tottenham ended their Premier League losing streak with a 2-0 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Ange Postecoglou’s side halted a run of four successive defeats to claim their first win since a 5-0 rout of bottom side Southampton on December 15.

The visitors broke the deadlock in the 29th minute when Vitaly Janelt unwittingly turned Son Heung-min's corner into his own net.

Brentford saw a golden opportunity to equalise go begging early in the second half, when Yoane Wissa was unable to turn home Mikkel Damsgaard's cross from close range.

Djed Spence cleared off the line from Fabio Carvalho before Spurs sealed victory three minutes from time, with Pape Sarr latching onto Son's throughball and slotting in.

Pape Sarr sealed the points in the 87th minute, moments after Djed Spence had cleared off the line from Fabio Carvalho, condemning Thomas Frank’s side to a fifth defeat in six home matches across all competitions.

Spurs climb to 14th place – ahead of West Ham with a superior goal difference – and move within four points of Brentford, who remain 11th after a fifth defeat in six home matches across all competitions.

Data Debrief: Spurs earn local bragging rights once more

Tottenham were victorious in a Premier League London derby away from home for the first time since beating Crystal Palace 2-1 in October 2023, while it was their first clean sheet in such games under Ange Postecoglou.

Valdimarsson became the first Icelandic goalkeeper to start a Premier League match, but the Brentford stopper was helpless for Janelt's own-goal.

Since the start of last season, Spurs have benefitted from more own-goals than any other team in the Premier League (eight).

The visitors' clean sheet was the ideal way for Archie Gray to mark his 10th Premier League start.

Aged 18 years and 327 days old, the defender is the second-youngest Spurs player to reach double figures for the club, after Aaron Lennon (18 years and 295 days in February 2006).
