Which club did Brentford defeat 3–0 in their 2026–27 Premier League opener?

Brentford defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 in their 2026–27 Premier League opener.

The match was played at Brentford’s home ground on Saturday 22 August 2026. Brentford scored three times without reply, beginning their campaign with one of the clearest victories of the opening round.

Keane Lewis-Potter scored Brentford’s first goal in the 12th minute after an assist from new signing Mamadou Sangaré. The result also gave Brentford an early three-point start and a goal difference of plus three.

The fixture was significant for Tottenham because it marked the beginning of a new phase under manager Roberto De Zerbi. Brentford, meanwhile, entered the season after matching their best-ever Premier League finish in the previous campaign. A 3–0 result means the winner scored three goals and conceded none, rather than merely winning by three goals in a higher-scoring match.
