Keane Lewis-Potter scored first for Brentford in their 3–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Brentford defeated Tottenham 3–0 at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday evening, 22 August 2026. Lewis-Potter opened the scoring in the 12th minute, Vitaly Janelt doubled the advantage in the 33rd, and Michael Kayode completed the win in the 49th minute.
The result was one of the clearest victories of the opening round and gave Brentford a perfect start. Tottenham, meanwhile, began the season with a defeat and no goals scored. The match was the final Saturday fixture, kicking off at 17:30 UK time after three simultaneous 15:00 matches.
Lewis-Potter’s opener should not be confused with Brighton’s early scoring in the 4–0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday. Brentford’s first goal came in the 12th minute, while Brighton’s first goal was an own goal by Aston Villa defender Victor Lindelöf.
