Data Debrief: Spurs earn local bragging rights once more
﷽Tottenham were victorious in a Premier League London derby away from home for the first time since beating Crystal Palace 2-1 in October 2023, while it was their first clean sheet in such games under Ange Postecoglou.
ꦬValdimarsson became the first Icelandic goalkeeper to start a Premier League match, but the Brentford stopper was helpless for Janelt's own-goal.
🍸Since the start of last season, Spurs have benefitted from more own-goals than any other team in the Premier League (eight).
꧙The visitors' clean sheet was the ideal way for Archie Gray to mark his 10th Premier League start.
꧙Aged 18 years and 327 days old, the defender is the second-youngest Spurs player to reach double figures for the club, after Aaron Lennon (18 years and 295 days in February 2006).
