Brentford's Thrashing Leaves Spurs in Crisis Mode The Premier League season got off to a disastrous start for Tottenham Hotspur, who were thoroughly outplayed by Brentford at The Gtech Community Stadium.
The margin of defeat – three goals conceded and none scored – was striking, but it was the manner in which the match unfolded that was most telling.
Tottenham's summer spending spree, with signings like Sandro Tonali for £100m and Mamadou Sangare for a club record £39m, has been touted as a major coup by Spurs fans and pundits alike.
