Brentford, on Saturday, May 20, came from behind to earn a stunning 3-1 victory over Tottenham to boost their hopes of securing European football next season.
Harry Kane got his 30th goal of the season with a screamer from 30 yards out to give Tottenham an early lead in a good first-half performance from the home side.
But two Bryan Mbeumo goals in the space of 12 second-half minutes silenced the majority of the crowd, leading to cries of “Levy out” as Spurs fans directed their anger at Tottenham’s chairman and the club’s hierarchy.
Yoane Wissa put the icing on the cake, sealing the win two minutes from time with an emphatic finish to send the away supporters into delirium.

Brentford, who are guaranteed their highest-ever Premier League finish, could now seal a place in Europe next season as they moved to within a point of seventh-placed Tottenham and within two points of sixth-placed Brighton.
Elsewhere on Saturday, the race to qualify for the Champions League via a top four finish heats up with Manchester United and Liverpool in action.
Fourth-placed United are one point ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool, whose home game against Aston Villa kicks off at the same time as their rivals’ trip to Bournemouth.
While United have two games left after this weekend, Liverpool will have only one to play.
At the other end of the table, fourth-bottom Everton, just one point above the relegation zone, face a crucial trip to Wolves.
The final day of the Premier League season is on Sunday, May 28, with Tottenham facing relegation-threatened Leeds at Elland Road.
Brentford, meanwhile, host Manchester City in west London.
