Tottenham Hotspur were victorious over Brentford, however, it wasn’t all plain sailing as they were made to come from behind to win.

Spurs have had a tricky start to the season and sit 10th after five matches, having dropped points against Leicester, Newcastle and Arsenal.

Against Thomas Frank’s side, they fell behind after just 26 seconds as Bryan Mbeumo handed them the lead and Spurs looked set for a long afternoon.

Fortunately, the Lilywhites battled back and managed to secure all three points courtesy of goals from Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson and James Maddison.

Despite scoring three though, Tottenham should have been well over the hill, even by half-time, but as has been the case this season, they struggled to convert many chances with their attackers being called into question.

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has urged the club to start looking for left-winger replacements for Heung-min Son.

The Spurs captain has had a tricky start to the season and hasn’t quite looked at his best, but still has four goal contributions in six appearances.

O’Hara told TalkSPORT: “How do you feel about Sonny? I feel like I’m over the hill with him. I just think proper fans are finished with him.

“I just think the quality in the final third, he’s 32, is he going to go past people? He’s been a great player – a Tottenham great. But when I watch him now, I question whether he still has that sharpness in his game – I don’t think he has.

“You can’t take him out of the team because I don’t think there’s someone better than him but I think we’ve [Tottenham] have got to start looking at a new left winger.”

Son not at his best but give the Tottenham captain time

Sonny has had a tough start to the season and left fans wanting a bit more, but now is not the time to give up on him.

Despite a slow start to the campaign, the forward has still put up decent numbers with two goals and two assists in his first six games.

But you cannot give up on your captain and star man just five league games into the season and despite a lack of goals, Tottenham’s attack is still producing promising numbers. Ange Postecoglou’s team top the charts for many final-third stats this season.
