It was another disappointing day for Tottenham as they lost at home to Brentford 3-1 with a brace from Mbeumo.
Harry Kane’s early opener gave Spurs the perfect start in their quest to stay in the hunt for Europa League football; but the visitors turned the tables with an impressive display after the break.
Mbeumo grabbed a quickfire brace to help fill the void of Ivan Toney, who on Thursday received an eight-month ban from all football activities from the FA for betting breaches.
Tottenham’s loss at Aston Villa last weekend had added to the glum mood around club. However, the sun was shining for this final home fixture of the season and Ryan Mason rung the changes.

Attackers Arnaut Danjuma and Dejan Kulusevski earned recalls while the fit-again Yves Bissouma made his first start since January; with Spurs’ acting head coach reverting to the 4-2-3-1 formation he used in 2021.
Chairman Levy used his programme notes to acknowledge the season struggles but promised to bring “on-pitch success” after a chaotic campaign.
