It’s been smooth sailing for Thomas Frank and Tottenham Hotspur as they take a 2-0 lead in the capital against visiting Brentford at home.
Richarlison’s first-half strike gave the north London side a 25th-minute lead in what was their best performance of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

But tonight in the capital, Dutch midfield star Xavi Simons deserves all the plaudits as the former RB Leipzig standout produced his best performance since arriving at Tottenham Hotspur from Saxony in the summer.
Simmons provided the assist for Richarlison’s opener before adding his name to the score sheet before the break in a performance that was nothing short of swashbuckling from the 22-year-old maestro.
He hasn’t played in every game, but if today is anything different, Simmons could be on the verge of a true breakout period.
