Brentford 2-2 Tottenham LIVE! Hojbjerg goal - Premier League result, match stream, latest reaction and updates

Brentford vs Tottenham LIVE!

Harry Kane shook off any World Cup hangover to spark a Tottenham revival in an entertaining 2-2 draw away at Brentford as the Premier League roared back to life on Boxing Day. An early goal by Vitaly Janelt and Ivan Toney's close-range goal shortly after the interval put the Bees 2-0 up but Spurs have made a habit of playing their best football when trailing and so it proved again.

Kane, whose missed penalty just over a fortnight ago condemned England to a quarter-final defeat by France, headed home in the 65th minute to throw his side a lifeline. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, one of five Tottenham starters who featured at the World Cup, then levelled with a calm finish and Kane almost won it with a header against the crossbar.

Tottenham are in fourth place with 30 points while Brentford are ninth ahead of the rest of the day's fixtures. Read back the game below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Nick Purewal.
