Tottenham boss Postecoglou delighted with Werner, Udogie for victory over Brentford

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has praised his two left-sided players this week.

The Australian saw his team put in a battling display in a 3-2 win over Brentford in the Premier League.

Timo Werner put in an assured display, while Destiny Udogie got himself on the scoresheet.

On Werner, Postecoglou told reporters: “I thought he was great. First half we probably didn't support him enough in that left channel, he was a little bit isolated. Second half we got some better service to him.

“He's a quality player, I think he's proven at this level, and as he gets stronger and fitter and understands our game a little bit better, I think he'll become even more effective and I know there's goals in him as well that will come for Tottenham, so I thought he was good."

He then added on Udogie: “Mistakes will happen mate. He's a young man learning the game. He worked hard, he was instrumental in the first goal, driving through and obviously he scored.

“Just his drive and he continues to present himself. I've got no issues with Destiny and I thought he was good. He made a mistake but you know what I've made more mistakes today like that, let alone in a career."
