Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur

Brentford made an emphatic statement on the opening weekend of the season, brushing aside Tottenham 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium. The standout moment came just after half-time when shaky goalkeeping from Antonin Kinsky handed the Bees their third, capping a thoroughly miserable afternoon for Spurs. Keane Lewis-Potter opened the scoring in the 12th minute after a slick build-up move, before Vitaly Janelt doubled the lead in the 33rd minute. Janelt then rattled the post from the penalty spot, but it barely mattered as Michael Kayode pounced on more goalkeeping trouble to make it 3-0 in the 49th minute. There were no red cards, but Brentford's dominance was total, with seven different players registering shots on target while Spurs barely troubled Caoimhin Kelleher. For Brentford, it's their biggest top-flight win on record and a huge early marker for the campaign. For Tottenham, this joint-heaviest opening-day defeat in Premier League history piles early pressure on the club ahead of a daunting trip to Newcastle next.
