Tottenham began the game on a strong note, starting an attack in the sixth minute that ended with Kane making a pass to Moura inside the right side of the box and Moura attempting a shot, but the ball was easily blocked by Alvaro Fernandez.

It wasn’t a surprise as any professional keeper worth his salt should be able to save a shot like that in that condition, but it was Tottenham’s first shot on target in the game.

Their second shot came six minutes later after a corner kick that Son had played short to Regulion.

Regulion waited for Son to step behind the offside line before returning the ball and Son aimed the ball at the center, trying to pick out a teammate.

The ball flew into the center where it Ben Davies was being marked by two Brentford players, yet he somehow managed to send the ball into the back of the net.

{Davies sends it through!}

{He was watching, he was waiting and he delivered!} The commentator exclaimed as Ben Davies celebrated the goal with his teammates but soon the replay began showing and it told a slightly different story.

The ball had indeed bounced off Davies’s head last before entering the back of the net, but it was because Sergi Canos was trying to head it away instead.

It was Sergi Canos clearance attempt that had caused the goal and not Ben Davies header so the goal was considered an own goal instead.

Either way it didn’t matter much to the Tottenham players who mostly only cared that they were ahead and the match continued.

If it wasn’t clear before that Tottenham was in the driving seat in the game, as more minutes, it became clearer and clearer that Brentford could hardly break down Antonio Conte’s team.

If it weren’t for Brentford’s goalkeeper, Fernandez, Thomas Frank’s side would have been down by a few more goals at the end of the first half of the game.

The man was really on form and he was showing it with save after save.

Nevertheless, Tottenham went into the first half break with a calm head as they hadn’t really been threatened all game.

Conte however wanted no part in this relaxed mentality and all he said in the half time meeting could be summed up into a few words.

Stay compact at the back and find a chance to kill the game.

The Tottenham players didn’t disagree and went out into the second half with the mind to do exactly that and just four minutes a chance came to do exactly that.

Hojberg managed to intercept a pass in the middle of the park while most of the Brentford players were behind him and he immediately sent the ball to his right into the path of Oliver Skipp.

Skipp pushed the ball forward, his eyes scanning the pitch in front of him and making a decision.

With a beautiful defense splitting pass, he sent the ball through the Brentford defenders and into the path of Harry Kane running at the goal from the left side.

{Here’s Harry Kane one on one!}

{For his second premier league goal of the seasonnnn!!!} The commentator screamed as Kane hit the ball at goal, but Alvaro Fernandez had different ideas.

Getting down quickly, he managed to block the ball’s path with his body before it got past him and pushed the ball into the path of a teammate who cleared it quickly.

{Not today!}

{Fantastic save from Fernandez to keep his team in the game!}

{He’s really been on form!}

The commentator exclaimed while Kane lay on the ground in shock, a hand covering his face in frustration. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

It was already the 14th week in the Premier League and he, the team’s main striker still only had a single Premier League goal to his name.

He was supposed to be one of the best strikers in the world but the other people he was sharing the rankings with already had about 10 goals already or even more, yet here he was struggling to get a second goal this far into the season.

Conte couldn’t believe it either.

He was pleased that his players were playing well and attacking well, but the opponent’s goalkeeper was performing so well that it was frustrating.

His team needed to bury the game so that they could be at ease a little but it was proving annoyingly difficult.

The only good thing was that the opponents really weren’t threatening at all, otherwise he would have pulled his hair out by now.

’No we need more attacking power,’ Conte thought to himself.

Lucas Moura who he had chosen to start the game, hoping he would be able to build off his previous form had been silent after his first attempt of the game.

Brentford had somewhat identified him as someone who could get things going and was dangerous on the counterattack thanks to his pace and they had made sure to stop him from running.

Since he couldn’t get away, he couldn’t get into dangerous spaces and even his passing lanes were being blocked, stopping him from playing any one-twos to escape.

Hence he had been kept quiet all game and hadn’t contributed much to Tottenham’s attacking.

Regulion who was a wingback was doing even more than he was on the attack and the team couldn’t have that.

If Moura wasn’t able to help on the attack, then better to bring on someone who could.

"Tell Jason to get ready to get on and to come meet me for instructions," Conte finally turned to his bench in the 63rd minute.

Jason got up immediately to quickly do a little warmup. Starting with a jog down the sidelines, he calmly warmed up, but the Tottenham fans on seeing him running up and down the sidelines couldn’t stay calm.

Beginning to applaud him as he warmed up, they showed their encouragement and optimism for him as he came back from injury.

While all this was happening off the pitch, on the pitch, Tottenham got another chance to counter after they regained possession high up the pitch.

The ball soon found its way to Skipp who spotted a run from an overlapping Regulion and he sent a pacey ball up the pitch into the man’s path.

Catching up to the ball, Regulion pushed it into the box before squaring it off to Son who was running in from the center and had kept up with him.

Fernandez had made almost superhuman saves all game, but even he could do nothing about Son who was faced with an open goal.

Without any surprise, the ball was slotted into the back of the net and Tottenham was up by two.

The players immediately took off in celebration.
