""It means a lot. I have been through new situations in private life and football and you have to handle that every day and come into the club with the mindset of working," he said in quotes reported by BBC Sport. "For sure I knew it would come, it was just a matter of time. I put the work and dedication in every day and it was important to score but the most important thing was the three points.""
""Simons both scored and assisted in the same game for the ninth time in Europe's big-five leagues, doing so in the first half for the third time after doing so twice for Leipzig previously. He finished with a game-high four shots, two of which were on target, and had an xG of 0.29.""
""Asked if this performance was a sign of things to come, Simons said: "I was hungry to play today. I want to play football. "I want to enjoy being here everyday with the fans and making my dreams come true. "It feels really good. I'm really happy to win the three points and step-by-step we are working to bring that to the fans.""
Xavi Simons set up Richarlison and then scored a solo goal two minutes before half-time to help Tottenham beat Brentford 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The result ended Spurs' run of five league games without a win and marked Simons' 19th appearance after joining from RB Leipzig. Simons credited work, dedication and mindset for the moment and emphasized the importance of the three points. He registered four shots (two on target) and an xG of 0.29, and it was his ninth match in Europe's top five leagues with both a goal and an assist.
