Tottenham Hotspur achieved a much-needed 2-0 victory against Brentford, halting a four-match losing streak in the Premier League. Manager Ange Postecoglou praised the players for their defensive performance, marking the first clean sheet of the season. Despite Brentford being a formidable opponent at home, Spurs demonstrated resilience and skill. The match highlighted the efforts of young players like Archie Gray, who stepped up defensively, amidst new signing Kevin Danso bolstering the back line. The win is significant for Postecoglou as it potentially shapes the season’s direction and his future at the club.
"We defended as well as we have all season and we still had the quality to hurt them the other way. It was an outstanding effort by the players."
"They throw it into the box and at set pieces, but I thought the lads handled that awfully well and we knew we would have to do that to nullify their threats."
"The job Archie Gray is doing is remarkable. Eighteen years old, never played centre back, and he is playing in Europe and playing every week."
"At times this season, we have lost concentration just for five minutes. As soon as that [first] goal went in, we knew we couldn't make the same mistake."
