Brentford 2 – 2 Tottenham – rezal404
Tottenham began life after Harry Kane with a 2-2 draw at Brentford in Ange Postecoglou’s first Premier League game in charge of Spurs.
The result came just a day after Tottenham’s all-time leading scorer completed his £100m move to Bayern Munich.
Emerson Royal’s first-half stoppage-time equaliser ensured Spurs avoided losing without Kane after Brentford had come from behind to lead 2-1.
Cristian Romero scored the first goal of the Postecoglou era to give Spurs an 11th-minute lead.
But new Spurs captain Heung-Min Son fouled Mathias Jensen inside the box to allow Bryan Mbeumo to equalise from the spot in the 26th minute.
The Bees completed the turnaround 10 minutes later as Yoane Wissa’s deflected shot put the home side ahead, before Royal got Spurs back level in the fourth minute of first-half added time.
Son and Richarlison both had good second-half chances to win it for Spurs but Postecoglou’s side had to settle for a point.
