Xavi Simons delivered his best performance yet in a Tottenham shirt as Spurs claimed a much-needed 2-0 Premier League victory over Brentford, easing the pressure on manager Thomas Frank.
What looked like a potential stumbling block turned into a confident display from a side eager to reset their momentum.
Simons set the tone with a clever assist for Richarlison’s opener, placing the ball on a plate for the Brazilian.
The Dutchman then took centre stage, surging from inside his own half on a solo run before scoring his first goal for the club with a calm, clinical finish.
Once ahead, Spurs controlled the second half with authority. Brentford rarely threatened, and Frank’s team saw out the win comfortably, securing a result that offers both relief and renewed belief.
