Which club did Brentford beat 3–0 on the first Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League?
Answer
Tottenham Hotspur
Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 on the first Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League.
The match was played at Brentford Community Stadium on 22 August 2026. Keane Lewis-Potter scored first in the 12th minute after a contribution from debutant Mamadou Sangare. Vitaly Janelt then doubled Brentford’s advantage before Michael Kayode completed the scoring after half-time.
The victory continued Brentford’s strong start under manager Keith Andrews. The Bees had matched their best-ever Premier League finish in the previous season and began the new campaign with a clean sheet and three goals.
Tottenham’s defeat was particularly notable because the club had entered the season with renewed optimism following a late-season revival. Brentford also missed a penalty through Igor Thiago, meaning the score could have been even wider. The result is sometimes confused with Brentford’s other opening-round fixtures, but Tottenham were their Matchweek 1 opponents.
