“I was really pleased for him, not just goals but his general (play) was really good," Postecoglou said.
“He’s important for us. As a wide player, there aren’t many around that are a constant goal threat like he is," he continued.
“With Brennan, he’s always in the areas we need him to be. He’s probably one of the most disciplined players we have in terms of making sure he’s always in the right positions and that’s why he gets his goals," the Australian added.

“I think like we played in the first half, Brennan becomes a really important player for us as we’re a constant threat, breaking lines, making half-space runs, we were getting balls into the box in the areas we need to and every time we went forward we looked like scoring," the Spurs gaffer added.
