Tottenham stunned by Brentford, beaten 3-0

Tottenham Hotspur, despite spending heavily in the transfer window, were stunned on Saturday evening in the opening match of the 2026/27 Premier League season. 

Tottenham were beaten 3-0 away by Brentford. 

Keane Lewis-Potter opened the scoring in the 12th minute. 

The second goal was scored by German midfielder Vitaly Janelt in the 33rd minute. 

Italian defender Michael Kayode scored the third goal in the 49th minute. 

Brentford had the chance to score a fourth goal in the 54th minute, but Igor Thiago was inaccurate from the penalty spot. 

Although they invested heavily in the transfer window and brought in big names such as Sandro Tonali, Andrew Robertson and Mateus Fernandes, Tottenham were unable to start the new season with a win.
