EPL: Mbeumo double helps Brentford stun Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 | Football News – Times of India
The game started with a brilliant free-kick from Tottenham’s Harry Kane, who scored his 28th league goal of the campaign, giving the hosts an early lead. Tottenham dominated the first half in what was their final home game of the season.
However, the tide turned in the second half as Bryan Mbeumo, the Cameroonian forward for Brentford, showcased his clinical finishing ability. Mbeumo struck twice with his left foot within a span of 12 minutes, completely changing the dynamics of the match. His goals stunned the home crowd and swung the momentum firmly in Brentford’s favor.
The frustration among Tottenham fans was evident as chants against chairman Daniel Levy filled the stadium. Levy himself acknowledged the challenges faced by the club in his program notes, describing the season as “immensely difficult.” The volume of discontent grew louder when Yoane Wissa sealed the victory for Brentford in the 88th minute, courtesy of Mbeumo’s assist.
Brentford’s impressive performance guarantees them a top-half finish in the Premier League, and they even have an outside chance of surpassing Tottenham and securing a European qualification spot.
With 56 points from 37 games, Brentford sits in ninth place, just one point behind Tottenham who occupy seventh place with 57 points.
However, the final standings will depend on the outcome of Brighton & Hove Albion’s remaining fixture, as they currently sit in sixth place with a game in hand. Brentford’s last match of the season will be against league leaders Manchester City.
