Which team won 3–0 when Brentford hosted Tottenham Hotspur on the opening Saturday?

The story behind the answer

Brentford won 3–0 when they hosted Tottenham Hotspur on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League.

The match was played at Brentford Community Stadium and was the final Saturday fixture of the opening round. It began at 17:30 BST, giving it a prominent evening slot after six earlier Saturday matches.

Brentford’s clean-sheet victory matched Arsenal’s three-goal winning margin from the season opener. However, Brighton & Hove Albion recorded the largest home win of the round, beating Aston Villa 4–0 on Sunday.

Tottenham’s defeat was one of two opening-round losses by London clubs; Crystal Palace also lost away to Everton. Brentford’s result was distinct because they were the home side and scored three without conceding, while the other London fixtures had different opponents and scorelines.
