Michael Kayode extended Brentford's lead to three goals just three minutes into the second half, dealing a severe blow to Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of a comeback at Gtech Community Stadium.

The strike capped a dominant first-half display from Brentford, who had already established a commanding advantage before the interval. Tottenham Hotspur were left with an enormous mountain to climb as Kayode's finish made the scoreline 3-0.

The result represents a harsh reality check for Spurs, who struggled to match Brentford's intensity and clinical finishing throughout the contest.
