Tottenham fought back from a 2-0 deficit to tie with Brentford in England captain Harry Kane’s first Premier League match back from the World Cup.
The Bees were on course for their first win over Spurs since 1948 after goals from Vitaly Janelt and Ivan Toney, before Spurs netted twice within six minutes.
Kane, who scored one penalty and missed another in England’s 2-1 quarterfinal loss to France, scored a wonderful header from Clement Lenglet’s cross in the 65th minute to pull one back.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg made it 2-2 with a curling finish – and neither side was able to find a winner, with Kane heading a chance against the crossbar.

The hosts had taken a 15th-minute lead through Janelt’s close-range effort after goalkeeper Fraser Forster, in his first league start for Spurs, could only block the ball into his path following Mathias Jensen’s volley.

Brentford doubled their advantage as Toney grabbed his 11th league goal of the season, reacting quickest to tap in after Christian Norgaard had headed on a corner, but it was not enough.
Toney, 26, was appearing in his first game since being charged by the Football Association with 262 alleged betting breaches. He has until 4 January to respond to the charges.
The result leaves Tottenham fourth in the table while Brentford are ninth.
