Tottenham begins life without Kane with 2-2 draw at Brentford in Premier League

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:39:51 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Tottenham began life without Harry Kane with an entertaining 2-2 draw at Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday. All four goals came in an action-filled first half that gave a first indication of what Tottenham will look like without its talismanic striker under new manager Ange Postecoglou. A day after Kane sealed his move to Bayern Munich, Spurs dominated possession and scored from its only two efforts on target in the first half, and yet still had to come from 2-1 down after being undone defensively on a couple of occasions. While both teams settled into a more cautious rhythm after the break, the opening 45 minutes of Postecoglou’s reign were enough to show that his underlying tactics will be a far cry from his predecessor Antonio Conte’s defensive rigidity and focus on counterattacks.And while Spurs couldn’t find a winner, a draw at Brentford could be seen as a positive first step given that Thomas Frank’s team beat Manchester United, Manchester Cit...
