For Tottenham there was more pain, more frustration, another defeat. The hope was that fans would linger in the stadium for the crucial WSL match that followed it, but instead it was well on its way to emptiness by the time the final whistle blew. Spurs have lost five of their past seven games and were helpless as Brentford turned the game on its head and ripped the points from their grasp in the second half.
Bryan Mbeumo scored twice and Yoane Wissa grabbed a late third as the Bees won for the fourth time in five matches to sit a point behind Spurs with a game to play.
