Udogie finds his range as Tottenham hit the bullseye during darts grudge match

NO player embodies Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham as well as Destiny Udogie, who produced one of the strangest performances of the Premier League season in last night's win over Brentford.

Without Udogie, the Bees may not have scored at all, the left-back giving away possession with loose passes for both their goals.

If Spurs captain Cristian Romero was equally culpable for Neal Maupay's ugly finish, Brentford's second goal was a gift from Udogie, who played a blind back pass to the feet of Ivan Toney, leaving the England striker with time to pick his spot.

Udogie, though, also began Spurs's thrilling comeback at the start of the second half, scoring the first of three goals in a 10-minute blitz that turned the game.

He surged up the pitch characteristically, exchanged passes with Timo Werner and finished after his initial effort was blocked.

"Mistakes will happen, mate. He's a young man learning the game," said Postecoglou, who wants his players to take risks. "He worked hard, he was instrumental in the first goal, driving through and obviously he scored. I've got no issues with Destiny and I thought he was good.
