Xavi Simons scored his first Tottenham goal to give Thomas Frank a much-needed 2-0 home win over his former club Brentford.

Xavi Simons steals the spotlight as Tottenham Hotspur ended a miserable five-match winless run with a 2-0 victory over Brentford in Saturday's Premier League London derby.

Now Thomas Frank has had the rarity of six days to work with his players on the Hotspur Way training pitches ahead of the visit of Arne Slot's side so they should be recharged and fully prepared for a Liverpool team that has started to find its groove again after the club's stuttering start to their title defence this season.

Brentford are humming along nicely after Frank's departure, with his former assistant coach Keith Andrews doing a fine job and they sit level on points with Spurs heading into this game. They lost 2-0 at Arsenal on Wednesday but stuck in the game and Andrews even rested several key players to keep them fresh for this visit to Spurs.
