At last, the beleaguered Ange Postecoglou has been able to enjoy some blessed respite from Tottenham's travails as he hailed what felt like one of their most important wins of the season.
Spurs were desperate to end a winless run of seven Premier League matches and the 2-0 victory at Brentford on Sunday, which featured more grit than glamour from the Australian's mercurial outfit, was just the ticket for Postecoglou at the start of a potentially critical week in his reign.
He recognised the huge relief among Spurs' fans too and appreciated their show of support at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium as they cheered him after the win, which had come came courtesy of a shambolic Vitaly Janelt own goal and Pape Sarr's late strike.
