Analysis: Andrews suffers more away-day blues

Brentford will have entered this game with optimism high that they could secure only their second away win in the league this season.

Tottenham's confidence was fragile and the atmosphere inside the stadium had been laced with hostility towards their own players, with Thomas Frank describing those who jeered goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after his mistake in the loss against Fulham as "not true supporters".

The scene seemed set for Brentford to increase the anxiety. Instead, they delivered a tame display that allowed Spurs to ease to victory.

Vicario had to only make one meaningful stop from Igor Thiago with the score at 0-0, with Brentford offering little once Tottenham went in front.

Manager Keith Andrews has shown he can get big performances from Brentford's players this season, which made this subdued effort such a disappointment.
