Tottenham Hotspur fell to a disappointing defeat against Brentford at the Brentford Community Stadium on Sunday, with the result leaving Mauricio Pochettino's side in fourth place in the Premier League table.
The game started well for Spurs, who took the lead through Harry Kane in the 24th minute after good work from Dele Alli and Son Heung-min. However, Brentford hit back immediately through Ollie Watkins, who scored his first goal for the club in the 37th minute to level the scores.
The second half saw Brentford take control of the match, with their attacking players causing problems for Tottenham's defence. The Bees continued to create chances, and they were finally rewarded when Ben White headed home in the 88th minute to secure a 1-0 win for Brentford.
For Spurs, it was a frustrating evening as they struggled to find a way past Brentford's strong defense. The team's performance was criticized by manager Mauricio Pochettino, who said that the players needed to "work harder" and "be more disciplined".
Conte's reaction: Conte has been linked with a move to Tottenham in recent weeks, but he is not expected to join the club any time soon. Conte has been linked with a move to Chelsea or Inter Milan, and he is reportedly keen on returning to Italy.
Conclusion: The loss to Brentford means that Tottenham will be looking to bounce back next week as they host Liverpool in the Premier League. It remains to be seen how Mauricio Pochettino's team will respond to this setback and whether they can maintain their position in the top four.
