Vitaly Janelt scored Brentford’s second goal against Tottenham on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Janelt made Brentford’s advantage 2–0 in their 3–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Gtech Community Stadium. The match was played on Saturday 22 August 2026 and was one of the weekend’s most decisive results.
The German midfielder joined Brentford from VfL Bochum in 2020 and became a regular presence in the club’s midfield. His role usually involves defensive work, pressing and supporting attacks, so his goal illustrated the balanced contribution Brentford received across the team.
Keane Lewis-Potter scored first, while Michael Kayode scored Brentford’s third goal after the interval. Those names are the main possible sources of confusion when recalling the score sheet. Janelt’s goal was the middle entry in Brentford’s three-goal sequence and helped the club establish a commanding half-time lead.
