Tottenham's draw at the Brentford Community Stadium was not only disappointing in isolation, but also due to the poor performance against Brighton that came just a week before. Spurs now find themselves fifth in the Premier League table, two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal and with five games left to play.
Antonio Conte's side seemed to be finding form once again, scoring nine goals in two games, against Newcastle and Aston Villa. That was then followed by two games where the Lilywhites have failed to have a single shot on target.
The hopes of securing Champions League football for next season are still alive, despite the blow, but some problems could be arising for Conte. Apart from a couple of rotations, he has been forced into making due to injuries, the Italian has kept largely the same starting line-up for a large chunk of Tottenham's matches.
