    Another Tottenham comeback is on!

    They've been second best for periods but Spurs are back on level terms after a fine finish by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who finds the net with a curling finish.

    There's 15 minutes-plus remaining. Where is this game heading?

    Harry Kane gets up so well and his direction to put it back into the far corner is absolutely fantastic. Tottenham, who always start slow and come back in the second half, are at it again.

    This is turning into a cracking match.

    Moments after Spurs score, Bryan Mbeumo has a big chance to restore Brentford's two-goal cushion but puts it over.

    The England man gets on the end of a delicious cross by Clement Lenglet to give David Raya no chance.

    It feels like Spurs are instructed to sit back - I can't imagine they want to get torn into every half-time until they start to play but it's just asking for trouble.

    Conte out. Absolute dinosaur.

    I'm not a Spurs fan but how can Mee's challenge (or wrestling) on Kane not be a penalty - particularly when compared to other VAR decisions over the last six months?

    Johny

    What’s the point of VAR? Clear penalty.

    As a Spurs fan, I'm really frustrated now. With the penalty shout, for me it is clearly a penalty as Mee has his arms round Kane. Two minutes later, Brentford score.

    Louis

    Spurs should have had a penalty without a doubt. How is arms around the waist not enough contact?

    Alan

    Will say it again, get Eric Dier out of this club! Shocking!

    As an Arsenal fan, I'm really enjoying this Conte masterclass!

    Almost immediately Yves Bissouma gets a yellow for a clumsy challenge on Ivan Toney.

    Antonio Conte needs to do something quickly. Who does he bring on? Spurs are a poor second in this game.
