THE FUSE

Brentford's record signing Mamadou Sangare engineered the opening goal in the 12th minute, finding an unmarked Keane Lewis-Potter inside the box to put the hosts ahead. Sangare went on to dominate the midfield and exploit space between the lines during a commanding display against their London rivals. Spurs' early struggles worsened in the 33rd minute when Vitaly Janelt tapped in a rebound after Antonin Kinsky had parried Mathias Jensen's initial effort to double the lead.
