Brentford v Tottenham: Premier League – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Join Rob Smyth for updates as the two London clubs resume their season.

[Brentford](https://www.theguardian.com/football/brentford), is chatting to the Amazon Prime team. In Qatar he was superb, the best centre forward in the tournament in ma opinion, but all anyone will remember is the shocking moment when he launched his second penalty over the bar. Both were the subject of unwelcome headlines during the World Cup: Toney for allegedly having 262 flutters too many, Kane for missing a late penalty in England’s quarter-final defeat to France. In fact, these teams finished part one of the 2022-23 season with memorable victories: Brentford won 2-1 at Manchester City, and Spurs thrice came from behind to beat Leeds 4-3. Harry Kane and Ivan Perisic are among the World Cup players who start for Spurs. Maybe the 2022 is the best - but I think 1966 is in there, along with 1954 if you like.” You can have a good tournament – he played really well – but at the same time he missed an important penalty. It’s important now to move on and focus on Tottenham. This is a really good opportunity for Spurs. No depression for Harry Kane, he has already left that penalty miss in the past.” “Faded rugby lines never help, but has the feel of a ground that’s been cut with a pair of scissors.” Forster made a smart reaction save but Janelt gobbled up the rebound from six yards.

Brentford 2-2 Tottenham: Spurs fight back from two goals behind to ... (Eurosport.com)

Harry Kane helped Spurs recover from a two-goal deficit to grab a point at Brentford and almost won it when heading against the bar in the closing stages.

Kulusevski pulls back from the byline and it is deflected perfectly into the Dane's path and he leaves Raya with no chance. Pierre Hojbjerg (Tottenham) - It was a game of two halves (with the latter half beginning in the 65th minute on this occasion), but Hojbjerg was a player who performed well throughout the game. In the first hour it appeared the mental toil of the last fortnight was weighing on Kane but his goal was fantastic and inspired his side to take the game to Brentford and he then almost won it for them. A fine ball from the left flank from Lenglen is headed home by Kane. Toney combines being a pest for defenders, strength and pace leading the line - along with ice-cool finishing - which could well provide the perfect foil for Kane late in his England career. It is not known what, if any, punishment Ivan Toney will get for alleged betting indiscretions but the performances today suggested an England strikeforce of him and Harry Kane could be an exciting one.

[Son struggled to find his rhythm in the first half of the season](https://theathletic.com/3593125/2022/09/15/son-heung-min-spurs-poor-form/), making 19 appearances and only scoring in two of them (three against [Leicester City](https://theathletic.com/football/team/leicester-city/) and two against [Eintracht Frankfurt](https://theathletic.com/football/team/eintracht-frankfurt/)).

Unlike Son, he looked as good as ever in the run-up to Qatar, with 12 Premier League goals in 15 games. With Kane, Son and Richarlison up front together they often looked top-heavy, with no one to link the front line to the rest of the team. A perfect Kulusevski assist, and all it took was two touches of the ball. He is one of Spurs’ best players, but he only started seven games before the break in the season. It was a move that was so distinctively Kulusevski — cutting from the right, threading through an inch-perfect reverse pass — that no one else on the pitch could have done it. Those who stayed to train during the break were generally those on the fringes of the first team. All three play for countries that made it to Qatar, but they did not make the squads.

Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski won Aftonbladet's Guldbollen last night, and Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof congratulated him.

Tottenham take on Unai Emery’s Aston Villa next in what will be a tricky clash. Injury issues and Richarlison’s arrival have limited Kulusevski to just eight starts this season. That is an excellent record, and he’s absolutely adored by Spurs fans. The award is handed to Sweden’s best male player every year. The 22-year-old Swede joined Spurs from Juventus in January this year. Victor Lindelof hails Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski on Instagram

Tottenham have four reasons to consider Pochettino return as Conte ... (Daily Express)

Antonio Conte could decide to leave Tottenham upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the season.

Only time will tell if the latter eventually decides to commit his long-term future to Spurs before the season draws to a close, with the outcome of the upcoming January transfer window set to be crucial in shaping his thought process as negotiations continue behind closed doors. Pochettino would almost certainly be able to improve Tottenham's playing style, which has taken a defensive turn under the guidance of Conte over the last 13 months. Tottenham would also be hiring a manager who knows the majority of players well by bringing Pochettino back, given his role in overseeing the development of many first-team stars during his five-year stint in charge between 2014 and 2019.
