Tottenham eased the pressure on manager Thomas Frank with a convincing win against his former club Brentford in the Premier League.
The Bees' visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium had all the hallmarks of a banana skin for Spurs and Frank as he struggles to convince supporters of his pedigree.
Instead, against a club where Frank was idolised, Spurs lifted spirits with a thoroughly deserved win to follow their midweek draw at Newcastle.
Summer signing Xavi Simons inspired Frank's side, setting up Richarlison for a simple opener then embarking on a solo run from inside his own half before scoring his first goal for Spurs with a composed finish.
Spurs were never under serious pressure in the second half as they closed out a win that was much needed for Frank and his players.
