Which club beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 on the first Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season?

The story behind the answer

Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 on the first Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season.

The victory came at Brentford Community Stadium on 22 August 2026. Keane Lewis-Potter opened the scoring after a setup from debutant Mamadou Sangare, Vitaly Janelt added a second before half-time, and Michael Kayode completed the 3–0 win after the interval.

Brentford’s performance was emphatic, although Igor Thiago missed a penalty that could have made the scoreline even larger. The result gave Brentford a strong start after the club had matched its best-ever Premier League finish in the previous campaign.

Tottenham began the season under Roberto De Zerbi. During the match, Archie Gray became the youngest player to captain Tottenham in a competitive fixture, breaking Steve Perryman’s record. Despite that milestone, Spurs left west London without a goal or a point.
