Tottenham Hotspur bounced back from a four-game losing streak in the Premier League with a 2-0 win at Brentford on Sunday thanks to Vitaly Janelt’s own goal and Pape Sarr’s late strike.

The first half was frantic at times but low on quality, with the deadlock broken when Spurs captain Son Heung-min’s whipped corner bounced in off Janelt in the 29th minute.

The Bees began the second half rapidly and Yoane Wissa skimmed the bar from close range, but they never really threatened an equaliser before substitute Sarr secured Spurs’ win, only their second in 12 league games.

Brentford – who fell to their fourth loss in their last five home league games at home – remained 11th with 31 points from 24 games. Spurs’ victory moved them up to 14th with 27 points.

Man United lose at home again as Mateta double earns Palace win

Manchester United’s woeful home form this season continued as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.

Despite United chasing a fourth successive win in all competitions, Palace were much the better side in the first half at Old Trafford, passing up several chances to capitalise on their superiority.

The visitors did make one count after 64 minutes, Jean-Philippe Mateta reacting first after the ball had come off the crossbar to give his side a deserved lead.

United upped the ante in search of an equaliser but lacked ideas, with Mateta condemning the hosts to a seventh home league loss this term with a late second, helping Palace climb above 13th-placed United into 12th in the standings.
