Brentford wing-back Rico Henry: Spurs draw a good start

Brentford wing-back Rico Henry says the players were happy with Sunday's 2-2 draw against Tottenham.

Henry laid on an assist for the Bees' opening goal and impressed on the day.

He later said: “I thought it was positive.

“We created chances and should have put away a couple more.

“It was a good start. We started on the front foot and were unlucky to go a goal down, but we came back and it was an equal point in the end. We could have scored more.

“It was difficult for us because they kept the ball well with [James] Maddison and [Yves] Bissouma in the middle. There wasn't much we could do to get forward until we got the ball and tried to hit them on the counter attack, which we did a couple of times."
