18.09.1972 Spurs Reserves beat Brentford Youth in extra time in the First Round of the London Challenge Cup after the game had finished at 1-1 after 90 minutes.

A strong defensive display by the Bees kept Spurs at bay until the 67th minute, when Jimmy Neighbour created a shooting opportunity for Phil Holder, which he took to give Spurs a 1-0 lead. However, the lead only lasted seven minutes, before Paul Bence equalised for the away side.

Bence had been the villain earlier, when a 54th minute foul on Neighbour had given Spurs the chance of taking the lead from the spot, but Graeme Souness had his shot stopped by Gordon Phillips.

With the game going into extra time, it was seven minutes from the end of the extra 30 minutes that Ray Clarke scooped the ball into the net to put Spurs through to the Second Round.

The final score did not reflect the dominance of the Spurs Youth team over the Bees at Griffin Park.

A first half goal from Mike Flanagan scored with a fierce shot gave Tottenham the lead and while they could easily have taken the score to double figures had they converted all the chances they made, they had to settle for a 3-0 win.

Peter Johnson made it 2-0 halfway through the second half and the third goal came from a straight forward header from Ray Clarke in the closing stages.
