Which player scored Brentford’s first goal in their 3–0 win over Tottenham in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

The story behind the answer

Keane Lewis-Potter scored Brentford’s first goal in their 3–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.

Brentford defeated Tottenham 3–0 on 22 August 2026. Lewis-Potter opened the scoring in the 12th minute after receiving the final pass from Mamadou Sangare, Brentford’s club-record signing midfielder.

Vitaly Janelt added Brentford’s second goal before half-time, and Michael Kayode completed the scoring after the interval. Brentford also missed a penalty through Igor Thiago, preventing an even larger margin.

The victory continued Brentford’s strong start under manager Keith Andrews. Tottenham, meanwhile, began the season under Roberto De Zerbi and suffered a heavy home-or-away opening setback. The match is sometimes remembered simply as a 3–0 result, but Lewis-Potter was the player who supplied the early breakthrough.
