Tottenham Hotspur moved back into the Premier League top four with a thrilling and at times chaotic home victory over Brentford.

The visitors led at half-time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium via a scrambled Neal Maupay finish.

But Tottenham blitzed the Bees with three goals in eight minutes after the interval, through Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson and Richarlison.

Ivan Toney pulled one back following a dreadful Udogie backpass, but Spurs held on to win and move back into the top four for the first time in 2024, after Ange Postecoglou's side dropped from the Champions League places following the 4-2 defeat by Brighton on 28 December.

It was a frenetic game with 28 shots across both teams in which Spurs were drawn into squabbles with Brentford during the first half before pulling away in the second with an early blitz.

"It's a young, maturing team," Postecoglou told BBC Sport. "Friday [the FA Cup defeat by Manchester City] showed we have a long way to go and tonight was another test. Arguing with the opponents isn't going to help us."
