Tottenham ended 2025 on a positive note with victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, but they were unable to start the new year with the same success.
A favourite with Brentford fans, Thomas Frank's failure to put his stamp on this Tottenham team has meant he is yet to win over Spurs' supporters.
Against his former side, Tottenham were second best all over the pitch and lacklustre going forward, while they had limited opportunities in front of goal.
Archie Gray, who scored his first goal for the club in the win against Palace, came closest for Spurs, but his header from close-range was well blocked by Bees skipper Nathan Collins, while Richarlison had a tame effort saved by Caoimhin Kelleher late on.
Spurs' designated forwards offered little in attack and their failure to press efficiently allowed Brentford to take charge of possession.
