Tottenham thumped by Brentford in Premier League opener

Brentford defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in their Premier League opener on 22 August 2026, with goals from Keane Lewis-Potter (12'), Vitaly Janelt (33'), and Michael Kayode (49'). The result was a damaging start for Roberto De Zerbi's Spurs side, who have spent over £300 million on new signings this summer including pending deals for Savinho and Omar Marmoush. Brentford's £41 million summer signing Mamadou Sangare was among the standout performers for the hosts.
