Scoreless draw against Tottenham

Brentford fans gave Thomas Frank a warm welcome back to the Gtech before the game. Once the game itself started, the Bees had an early goal that was ruled out for offside. Beyond a few other chances scattered throughout the 90 minutes, both teams seemed to be trying not to lose more than trying to win. After the final whistle, the score was still level at 0-0.

Trends that continued

Another Bees – Spurs draw at the Gtech

Brentford has hosted Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium five times, with four of those games ending in draws.

Another draw in the dark

The Bees only have three draws this season, but all three have come in games that finished in the dark.

What was different

Damsgaard on the bench

Clean sheet at home

Brentford picked up their fourth clean sheet of the season, and just their second at home. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher stopped both of the shots on target that he faced while the trio of Kristoffer Ajer, Nathan Collins and Vitaly Janelt blocked a combined five shots.
