Which team did Brentford defeat 3–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

The story behind the answer

Brentford defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match took place on Saturday, 22 August 2026, with Brentford hosting Tottenham. Brentford’s three-goal victory matched Arsenal’s margin against Coventry City but did not equal Brighton’s four-goal win over Aston Villa.

The result gave Brentford a perfect start and a positive goal difference. Tottenham, by contrast, began the campaign without scoring and joined several other losing teams at the bottom of the early table.

The fixture was a London-area meeting, but it was not the Chelsea–Fulham match that closed the round. Chelsea’s game was played on Monday and finished 3–2.
