Just a minute before Richarlison's goal, Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made a crucial intervention to prevent Igor Thiago from scoring. The hosts then capitalized on the momentum, taking the lead and going on to dominate the first half.

Simons also scored his first Premier League goal in the final stages of the first half, showcasing his speed and skill as he motored up the pitch and into the box before slotting a low shot past Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher.

Brentford, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing, attempting only four shots in the game, their lowest total in a single match in the Premier League this season.
