Tottenham Hotspur continued their fighting spirit under Ange Postecoglou as he twice came from behind to rescue a point against Arsenal in a thrilling north London derby.
Since the start of this season, Spurs have lost four of their six Premier League matches, but have won twice and drawn twice, taking eight points from those matches.
But there’s really nothing new in that vein, as the last-gasp point against the Gunners took Spurs to the top of the all-time points-from-disposal table.
Brentford have also shown great character at the back despite this being only their third season in the Premier League.
They are averaging 0.35 points per game from the field, slightly worse than the Spurs’ 0.36, and have already come from behind twice this season to score a point. Most points from lost places
