Tottenham's £100m signing Sandro Tonali had a desperately poor debut, failing to exert any serious influence on the game. Meanwhile, Mamadou Sangare was outstanding for Brentford, winning possession, using possession, and setting up Keane Lewis-Potter's opening goal superbly. The club-record signing at £39m looks a bargain.
Brentford's victory was largely down to their solid defensive display, with Kristoffer Ajer reading the game well throughout and Nathan Collins untroubled at the back. The Bees' attack was also clinical, with Lewis-Potter scoring a clinical finish for Brentford's opening goal and Vitaly Janelt pouncing for the second goal.
Tottenham's new first-choice goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky had a bad day, being at fault when he pushed out Mathias Jensen's shot for Janelt's goal. The Spurs' £100m signing Sandro Tonali did not exert any serious influence on the game, and his debut was marred by a desperately poor performance.
The defeat marks a disappointing start to the season for Tottenham, who will be looking to bounce back in their next match. Brentford, on the other hand, will be confident after their impressive victory, and will look to build on this result in their upcoming fixtures.
The next step for Tottenham will be to regroup and prepare for their next match, which is against a yet to be confirmed opponent.
