Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham crash badly on their debut against Brentford: 3-0 thanks to goals from Lewis-Potter, Janelt and Kayode. A defeat that could have been even heavier, given that Igor Thiago missed a penalty with the result already beyond doubt.
The numbers tell the story of the match well: Brentford had 26 shots, 8 on target, compared to Spurs' 9 overall (they also had 4 on target, but almost all from Moore from the same position).
The first half was completely dominated by the Bees, who cut through Tottenham's defence with a fine team move: Sangaré drilled in a low cross for Lewis-Potter, who scored from the edge of the six-yard box.
The 2-0 came after Richarlison lost the ball in his own half, Jensen shot from distance, and Kinsky's poor save (made first-choice keeper despite last year's Champions League disaster) allowed Janelt to score.
Spurs had zero shots on target in the first half: they managed only two attempts, both from outside the box. A disastrous opening period, so much so that Kayode alone managed more touches in the box than the entire Tottenham team.
