Referee John Brooks was supported by Brentford manager Thomas Frank after he failed to see Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario's intentional handball during their 3-1 loss.
Bryan Mbeumo's goal after 22 seconds gave the Bees the ideal start in north London, as it had done against Manchester City the previous Saturday.After Dominic Solanke's £65 million move in the eighth minute, the Spurs came storming back to win all three points. Brennan Johnson's brilliant goal put them ahead 2-1 after 28 minutes.
James Maddison scored the game's winning goal in the 58th minute with a deft chipped effort, although Vicario was booked for swiping the ball with his hand outside the penalty area after failing to gather a cross in front of Mikel Damsgaard.
Play continued as referee Brooks signaled, and as it was not considered a goal-scoring opportunity, VAR could not step in.

"Not only looked, he had handled it outside the box, but that incident did not define the game," stated Measured Bees manager Frank.
"We have to play ninety quality minutes when we get here. We engaged in 60. There were a couple deflections and balls dropped that didn't increase our chances of winning the game, so the margins needed to work in our favor.
Overall, I thought John Brooks played a really solid game. He did an extremely nice job of handling soft fouls both ways.
In my opinion, John Brooks performed admirably throughout the game. He did a great job of handling soft fouls in both directions.
"I am aware of the situation. We just want to vent our dissatisfaction, but we can't be too — I hate to use the word aggressive, but — in-your-face. There is nothing we can do about it. Hey, get over it.
Following a playful interaction, Postecoglou eventually discussed his thoughts on the Vicario incident during his news conference.
"I was nearer the field of play? But you were at a higher level! Alright, so perhaps your description of what you saw matches mine.
"Achieve impunity? I haven't seen it, therefore have you seen it and mentioned that it's outside? I have no idea.
"If there hadn't been a clear-cut chance to score, does it suggest that, even in the event that he was given a penalty, the play would have changed significantly to a free kick? Outside the box, a free kick?
"Well, well, I suppose we were fortunate to receive the outcome."
When it came to record acquisition Solanke, who made his debut at his new club on his fourth attempt, the Spurs manager was more forthright.

It was an error. To us, it might have been a free-kick. It might have been beneficial to us. You never know, though. It's probably not the biggest chance to score anyway, as I believe the likelihood of scoring from a straight free-kick is only about 0.0543.In my opinion, John Brooks performed admirably throughout the game.

"He was good once again. It's a tremendous moment for him to score his first goal for the club, especially at home, and I think he's been good in every game he's played for us, thought Postecoglou.
"Aside from that, he gave another pretty good performance. He led the line pretty well, in my opinion.
