Keane Lewis-Potter scored Brentford’s opening goal in their 3–0 win over Tottenham during the 2026–27 opening weekend.
Lewis-Potter put Brentford ahead in the 12th minute at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. The goal was set up by Mamadou Sangare, Brentford’s club-record signing, who made an immediate impact on his debut. Brentford went on to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0.
Vitaly Janelt scored Brentford’s second before half-time, and Michael Kayode added the third after the interval. Brentford’s victory matched the club’s confident start after they had equalled their best-ever Premier League finish in the preceding season.
Igor Thiago also featured prominently but missed a penalty. Had he converted it, Brentford could have finished the day top of the table on goal difference. The result was a difficult beginning for Tottenham and manager Roberto De Zerbi, whose side had ended the previous campaign with renewed optimism.
