Tottenham beat Brentford to end a four-game losing run in the league as Spurs fans repeatedly called for chairman Daniel Levy to leave the club.

The visitors took a fortunate lead in the 29th minute when Son Heung-min’s excellent inswinging corner from the left bounced off the back of Brentford’s Vitaly Janelt in a crowded penalty area and into his own net.

Tottenham wrapped up an excellent victory when substitute Pape Matar Sarr raced on to Son’s excellent pass and flicked a finish past Hakon Valdimarsson for a late second goal.

Despite the victory, on several occasions the Tottenham supporters chanted “We want Levy out”, with the club struggling in the bottom half of the table.

Brentford are the top scorers at home this season, while only Liverpool have now scored more goals than Tottenham, but this was a scrappy affair, with both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances.

Away goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky parried an effort from Christian Norgaard and held a strike from Bryan Mbeumo, with Yoane Wissa also glancing a header wide as an organised Tottenham defence frustrated the hosts.
