He did not give up the eternal defense of five Antonio Conte, but neither Heung Min Son nor Harry Kane had the day and they were not able to score anything. The ‘spur’ team took to the field eagerly but without success, with no chance of danger throughout the first half.
The only clear one came for Brentford, but Lloris took out a great hand to deflect Toney’s shot. Conte’s team didn’t even clearly have possessionwho was very uncomfortable before the defense of five also raised by the Danish Frank.
After the break, it was to be assumed that North Londoners would press for victoryand although they wanted to achieve it, they never found a way to dismantle the local defensive approach.

It was not until midway through the second half, in the 66th minute, when the score could have been unbalanced. Former Tottenham Christian Eriksen picked up a rebound to shoot low with placement, but Lloris answered again with a great intervention.
The match entered the final stretch without an owner, all the spectators waiting for Tottenham to hit Brentford on their own area. It was not like that, and it is that Toney returned to enjoy the opportunity to give victory to his team, already in the discount, but his header hit the wood. The only one for Conté’s men came from Kane’s boots, but the striker was not successful and finished near the post.
