The commencement of the post-Harry Kane era brought hope to Ange Postecoglu and all Tottenham Hotspur fans, as they secured a 2-2 draw against Brentford on Sunday at Brentford Community Stadium in West London.
All the goals were scored in the first half, with James Maddison making significant contributions to Tottenham’s Premier League debut.

Cristian Romero gave Spurs an early lead but had to leave the game due to a concussion. Brentford capitalized on this and took the lead with a penalty from Bryan Mbeumo and a deflected strike from Yoane Wissa.
Emerson Royal redeemed himself for his previous mistake by scoring a fantastic low strike to level the score, but despite dominating the second half, Tottenham couldn’t find another goal.
Brentford will face Fulham in another London derby at 10am ET on Saturday, while Spurs will host Manchester United 2.5 hours later.
London derby offers optimism to both teams
Last season, Brentford remained unbeaten in the Premier League without Ivan Toney. Despite his absence until January, it’s still a positive start for them to score two goals and secure a result against a Big Six side.
Tottenham introduced new center back Micky van de Ven, who only arrived within the last week, and handed a Premier League debut to 20-year-old left back Destiny Udogie. Additionally, it was the PL debut for their manager, Ange Postecoglou, who is experiencing the highest level of competition in his career.
Tottenham displayed control throughout the game, which provided valuable insights into their players’ performance under pressure, especially when dealing with an early lead loss away from home and Cristian Romero’s early departure.
