Brentford defender Mee on victory at Tottenham: The boys now talking about Europe

Brentford defender Ben Mee was delighted after their 3-1 win at Tottenham.

Bryan Mbeumo struck twice as the Bees came back from Harry Kane's opener with Yoane Wissa also scoring.

Mee said, "It's a fantastic win today. We've shown what we're all about. We've pushed the top six teams this season.

"We made some good saves and good blocks. We didn't quite get that attacking threat going as we can. We spoke about it at half-time, came out and took our chances.

"[Bryan] Mbeumo came on in the second half and had two fantastic finishes. [Mikkel] Damsgaard also did very well when he came on.

"We all defended really well. Our back four and David [Raya] were there when we needed them. We pressed high at times and I thought we defended really well."

On Ivan Toney's ban, Mee said: "We carry on as normal. We've played without him in previous games. He's a big miss for us but people need to step up, and Bryan stepped up today.

"We adapt. The boys up front are a different type of player to Ivan, but we need to step up."

On the race for Europe, he added: "We just spoke about that. If results go our way [we have a chance]. We'll see where we're at."
