However, no start was given to the now 19-year-old Bergvall. Instead, he had to watch from the bench as the home team Brentford conceded an own goal in the 29th minute.
During a Tottenham corner, Vitaly Janelt unfortunately got the ball in his back and kicked it into his own goal.
At halftime, Bergvall was allowed to enter the game and join Dejan Kulusevski on the pitch, and it was close to being an extraordinary birthday.
In the 60th minute, Bergvall was close to giving himself a fine birthday present in the form of his first Premier League goal, but the shot went narrowly outside.
Instead, midfield colleague Pape Matar Sarr punctuated the match with the 2–0 goal, and Tottenham could thus celebrate a league win for the first time since December 15.
The team passes West Ham in the table after the win and moves up to 14th place.
For Manchester United, it went worse. The team lost at home to Crystal Palace with 0–2 after double hits from Jean-Philippe Mateta, and remains in 13th place.
In addition, United defender Lisandro Martinez had to leave the pitch on a stretcher and in tears during the second half, after painfully twisting his left leg.
