Tottenham still have plenty of work to do even after securing victory against Brentford.
Spurs beat Brentford 2-0 last time out as Thomas Frank picked up a home win in the Premier League for the first time since August.
The Lilywhites have gone nearly three months since Tottenham scored three against Burnley to keep three points in North London.
The icing on the cake came as Xavi Simons scored his first Tottenham goal with a stunning solo effort as he marched forward the halfway line.
Simons’ strike was certainly a boost in N17, but may not be the end of the issues Frank has faced since taking over as head coach.

Xavi Simons doesn’t cover up Tottenham concerns
Spurs signed Simons after missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White, but the Netherlands international has largely struggled since coming in.
The RB Leipzig star was seen as a real coup for the Lilywhites, but he has failed to live up to the expectations surrounding him.
Simons now has three goal involvements in 12 Premier League matches, and there is hope that he can help drag Spurs out of the mire.
Former Spurs scout Bryan King isn’t sold quite yet, suggesting that Frank still needs to find a stable side before his team can push on in the Premier League.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, King said: “Let’s remember that they played Brentford, not Manchester City.
“I’ve said all along that Simons is a good player, and I think he proved it.
“Talk about goal of the season, there won’t be many better than that.
“The fans have been begging for a win. Tottenham need their 11 players; Simons isn’t going to win games on his own.
“They need a settled team to put in settled performances, and from that, they’ll get results. They’ve got quality players, but they’ve been playing like individuals.“
Simons can turn the tide under Thomas Frank
The former PSG youngster has been a reason for additional frustration at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, but may now be over the hump.
Simons was on target against Brentford, and everyone associated with the Lilywhites will hope he can finally kick on moving forward.
The Dutchman needs to be given the platform to succeed, and King is right in suggesting that Frank needs to find his best 11 and stick by it.
Chopping and changing won’t have a positive impact and is something that needs to change.
