Brentford boss Frank proud of victory at Tottenham: Fully deserved

Brentford boss Thomas Frank was proud of his players for today's 3-1 win at Tottenham.

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

Frank said, "Must say that our first half was definitely not one of our best but that happens in football and it is 90 minutes to decide a game.

"First half one thing we did well was a lot of good blocks and good saves from David [Raya] - we have a top goalkeeper.

"Second half was top. No doubt, when you see that 1-0 at half-time, it was a fully deserved win with the way we came back.

"We nailed the high pressure a bit more, when to go high, when to go low and we were better on the ball. A few more sequences that we wanted to do. That was what we wanted to do and two great goals from Bryan [Mbeumo]."

On Mbeumo, he said: "He is an incredible player for us. He works so hard, we know he can run in behind, we know he is good at pressing and he can also get goals and assists. He probably hasn't been rewarded with enough goals. Last year I think he hit the post seven times - crazy! - so I'm glad that two great finishes hit the back of the net."

On their European chances, Frank added: "We will definitely try to go for the European positions. We have a pretty tough opponent in Manchester City but we'll go for it."
