With two minutes to go, he teed up teammate Yoane Wissa to complete the remarkable turnaround for the Bees. 

Following the performance against Spurs, his manager Frank Thomas was a very happy and pleased man. 

“I am pleased for him (Mbeumo),” Thomas started after the game per Talk Sport.

“He's such an important player. He probably hasn't been rewarded with enough goals. So, I am pleased two top finishes went into the back of the net,” he added.
