In the first match of the "Premier" League season, "Tottenham" demonstrated such football that nearly got them relegated last season.

In the London derby, "Tottenham" lost 0:3 away to the "Brentford" team.

In the 12th minute, Keane Lewis-Potter put the "Bees" ahead.

"Brentford" did not stop. In the 33rd minute, Vitaly Janelt doubled the lead.

In the 49th minute, Michael Kayode made the score devastating. Just a few minutes later, Igor Thiago could have made the score even more brutal, but the Brazilian's penalty kick was inaccurate.

"Tottenham" had only a few chances throughout the match. The 19-year-old Mikey Moore could not find a way past Caoimhín Kelleher with his shots.

In the next round, "Tottenham" will host the "Newcastle" team at home, while "Brentford" will play away against "Leeds United".
