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

The story behind the answer

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

The match was played at Brentford’s home ground on Saturday 22 August 2026. Brentford’s three-goal victory matched Arsenal’s winning margin against Coventry City and was one of the clearest home wins of the opening weekend.

Tottenham were held scoreless, so Brentford combined an attacking performance with a clean sheet. That combination produced a plus-three goal difference, an important early tiebreaker in the table.

The fixture also formed part of a busy Saturday schedule that included Hull City against Manchester United, Ipswich Town against Sunderland, Everton against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest against Leeds United. Brentford therefore finished the day among the clubs starting with three points.
