Tottenham`s 2-0 win over Brentford ended their losing streak, while Manchester United fell to Crystal Palace at home.

Tottenham Hotspur ended their four-game Premier League losing streak with a crucial 2-0 victory against Brentford. The match, held on February 2, 2025, featured an own goal from Brentford`s Vitaly Janelt in the 29th minute, as Spurs captain Son Heung-Min`s corner kick deflected off Janelt into the net. This early goal set the tone for the match, allowing Spurs to regain some much-needed confidence.

In the second half, Brentford came out strong, with Yoane Wissa nearly equalizing when his close-range shot skimmed the bar. However, they failed to capitalize on their chances and never truly threatened Tottenham`s lead. Substitute Pape Sarr sealed the victory for Spurs with a late strike, ensuring the team moved up to 14th place in the standings with 27 points.

Meanwhile, Manchester United`s struggles continued as they faced Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, suffering a 2-0 defeat.

He later added a second goal, condemning United to their seventh home league loss of the season and further complicating their campaign.

This result allowed Crystal Palace to leapfrog United in the standings, moving into 12th place with 31 points from 24 games.
