Dominic Solanke opens his account as Tottenham beat Brentford
Why Guglielmo Vicario wasn't shown a red card against Brentford
ESPN FC's Mark Donaldson explains exactly why by Guglielmo Vicario wasn't shown a red card for Tottenham against Brentford.
Striker Dominic Solanke scored his first goal for Tottenham Hotspur as Ange Postecoglou's team recovered from conceding inside the opening minute to beat Brentford 3-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Bryan Mbeumo's acrobatic volley stunned the home crowd but £65 million ($87m) signing Solanke calmed the jitters when he tapped in a rebound in the eighth minute.
Brennan Johnson fired Tottenham ahead after 28 minutes but Tottenham's lead looked vulnerable in the second half until James Maddison was set up by Son Heung-Min to make it 3-1.
Tottenham's second win of the season lifted them to 10th with seven points from five games with Brentford, who have six points, dropping to 12th.
