Comments:

Brentford had now drawn their opening game in six of the last 12 league seasons (won two). . The Bees failed in their attempt to win four consecutive games in the top division for the first time since March 1939 in League Division One. . 100 goals had now been scored in their 39 home games in the Premier League (for 59, against 41). . Brentford were awarded a penalty in the 25th minute following a VAR review for a foul.

Comments:

This was new manager Ange Postecoglou's first game in charge. . Tottenham Hotspur had now lost their opening game in one of the last eight seasons in the Premier League. . This game took place the day after Spurs had sold their all-time record goalscorer Harry Kane to Bayern Munchen.
