Tottenham chief Ange Postecoglou welcomed his player’s drive and determination after digging up to beat Brentford 2-0 away from home.
He broke a series of four consecutive defeats in the Premier League for the North London Club, and their first win in the first flight in 49 days.
But it was not an easy day in the office, and the Spurs had most of the game on the wall.
They took the lead through their own goal Brentford in the first half, before securing three points with a few minutes, thanks to Pope Matar Sarr’s strike.
Speaking after the game, Postecoglou said, “It’s hard to come and win.
“It is also a difficult place to win with the way they attack and set up; you have to defend your frame. You will just have to do it.
“I thought the guys treated it well and we knew it would be crucial for us, and the guys were great and we felt that we had the quality of football to hurt them otherwise. The credit for the boys, they were great.”
“We’ll take a lot from victory”

Postecoglou made sure to give Santa’s grandfather’s props – which was extraordinary and named the match player.
Playing outside the position in the absence of the fate of the limb in the left back, the young Englishman was a revelation in Tottenham’s defense.
Postecoglou added, “Ever since he got into the team, he was extraordinary.
“We have been missing the last few games, but it is the beauty of the place we are at the moment. We are slowly coming back to the players, improveing us and helping us and I think it gives the energy to the group. Today he was great, [Bryan] Mbuemo is a handful for any full back and he treated it very well. “
Archie Gray is praised in a similar vein and echoed the words of his manager.
Since Micky Van de Ven was resting forward, on Thursday, Big Carabao Cup against Liverpool, and Cristian Romero is still not a return, Gray is re -invited to the rear action.
The 18-year-old said after the match: “Obviously it is a huge victory. From the back of another good victory before. To break that run, it was difficult, we were in a difficult time. We still have a lot of games to prove that we can wear this winning Form, so it is important.
“Sometimes this season, just five minutes we lost the concentration. As soon as that goal came in, we knew we couldn’t make the same mistakes. Once we arrived at halftime, we thought we had to be disciplined for another half. are people open in the back and we knew we could get a second goal.
“It is a merit for Ben [Davies] and grandfather [Spence] and Pedro [Porro] as. To be Fer Ben shouted at me the whole game and we shouted the whole game to each other, so it was really good to have it beside me. As I said, it was a really good clean sheet and we hope we can continue it. “
