Tottenham Hotspur Lose 3-0 to Brentford in Premier League Season Opener

Brentford scored twice in the first half through Keane Lewis-Potter and Vitaly Janelt, with Michael Kayode adding a third after halftime. Tottenham debuted several new players but struggled with organization and physicality, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. Tottenham missed a penalty and will next face Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup before hosting Newcastle United.
