Key events<\/p>\n
75 min: Brentford<\/a> continue to look lively, Anthony worming his way down the right and earning a throw. Kayode flings it long. Kinsky punches under pressure, and the ball pings out for a corner. From which \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 min: Was that the first time the word \u201cJeff\u201d has been used in three consecutive MBM entries? Not sure. Anyway, it\u2019s four now.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 72 min: Ah, here go the Brentford<\/a> fans with \u201cYou\u2019re getting sacked in the morning\u201d. Jeff Necessary (69 min) got there just in time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 min: Sangare sashays into the Spurs box from the left and takes a whack. His shot is deflected, the sting removed. But he continues to impress on debut. Meanwhile in the dugout, De Zerbi holds his head in his hands, before ranting, half at his assistant, half to himself, at high speed and with some passion, presumably using words including Eff and Jeff.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 69 min: Anthony bustles down the right and crosses for Schade, whose header flies straight to Kinsky. \u201cIt\u2019s too late for the season\u2019s first \u2018you\u2019ll be sacked in the morning\u2019,\u201d begins Jeff Necessary. \u201cEnzo Maresca got that at Cardiff last week. But De Zerbi may not be far behind.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min: Spurs respond by switching out Moore and Richarlison for Maddison and Solanke.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 67 min: Brentford<\/a> make a double change, replacing Jensen and Ouattara with Yarmoliuk and Anthony.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 65 min: Schade chases after a long ball down the right and is clipped by Bentancur. The referee absurdly waves play on, which if nothing else means he doesn\u2019t have a decision to make, because Spurs were very light at the back and Schade was preparing to romp into all sorts of space.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 63 min: \u2026 and from the resulting corner, Van Hecke falls over, claiming a penalty he\u2019s never going to get. Goal kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 62 min: Lewis-Potter misjudges Fernandes\u2019s diagonal pass to Moore on the right. A fresh-air swipe, and suddenly Moore is one on one with the keeper! But he shoots straight at Kelleher, who nevertheless does well to turn the ball around the post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min: Tonali slips a pass down the left to release Robertson, who can\u2019t find Richarlison with his cutback. Brentford<\/a> then collectively butcher a three-on-two counter. It\u2019s an open game, and that probably doesn\u2019t augur well for the visitors.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 58 min: Tonali scuffs a shot from 25 yards. Easy for Kelleher. The xG is currently 3.19 to Brentford<\/a>, 0.27 to Spurs.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 57 min: Spurs go up the other end and win a corner down the left. It\u2019s their first of the match. Tel swings it in, and the offside flag goes up. The penalty miss is pretty much all that\u2019s gone right for Spurs so far. As for the Dundee derby \u2026 \u201cIt\u2019s all kicking off at Tannadice,\u201d reports Simon McMahon. \u201c1-0 to Dundee, and some mistaken identity VAR nonsense just before half time. To be honest I\u2019ve no idea what\u2019s going on, but hey, what\u2019s new?\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Thiago misses penalty<\/p>\n 55 min: Thiago steps up, sends Kinsky the wrong way \u2026 then batters his penalty off the base of the left-hand post and away! A rare opportunity for Spurs to breathe out.<\/p>\n Igor Thiago takes the penalty and hits the post.

The referee points immediately to the spot. That was an absurd lunge, and this won\u2019t be overturned by VAR.<\/p>\n Brentford’s Kevin Schade is fouled and awarded a penalty. Photograph: Tom Jenkins\/The GuardianShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.55 EDT<\/p>\n 52 min: Spurs try to summon a response, Robertson making good down the left and crossing low for Moore, who finds himself one on one with Kelleher. But he shoots straight at the keeper, who parries before claiming.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 51 min: This is some debut from Sangare, who now has two assists to his name.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.40 EDT<\/p>\n 50 min: On the touchline, Roberto De Zerbi fixes his stare on an imaginary point exactly 1,000 yards in the distance.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Brentford 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur (Kayode 48)<\/p>\n \u2026 but it doesn\u2019t matter, because from the resulting corner, hit long from the right, Collins heads down for Sangare, who pearls an instant shot goalwards. Kinsky parries, a decent save from a well-struck shot, but the ball drops for Kayode, who roofs the loose ball from a couple of yards!<\/p>\n Michael Kayode scores.

Photograph: Tom Jenkins\/The GuardianShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.47 EDT<\/p>\n 47 min: Sangare piles down the left and crosses dangerously. Janelt prepares to head home but Van Hecke heads clear. Kayode throws long, and Senesi grabs a fistful of Collins\u2019 shirt. As the ball\u2019s blocked out for a corner, VAR has a look, but no penalty. Senesi was taking a big risk there, considering the new rules.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.38 EDT<\/p>\n Brentford get the second half underway. Spurs have made two changes, replacing Bergvall and Gallagher with Fernandes and Bentancur. Spurs now have five debutants on the pitch.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The reports are in from the earlier Premier League<\/a> games. Get clicking, but don\u2019t forget to come back now.<\/p>\n Hull City 2-0 Manchester United<\/a> Share<\/a><\/p>\n Half-time postbag: Spurs sorrow special. \u201cHave to say Spurs look absolutely miles off it so far although Brentford<\/a> have been excellent. If anything, this looks as bad as last season\u2019s Spurs. At least there are 37 games left to improve\u201d \u2013 Martin Gamage<\/p>\n \u201cLast season Spurs were lousy, and they will not be better this season, just like Manchester United. It is an utter disgrace, and also a reflection on society, that players like Tonali are bought for 100 million and yet so many people live in poverty in England\u201d \u2013 Jeff Sax<\/p>\n \u201cGotta admire Tottenham\u2019s resilience; despite failing to get relegated two years on the bounce they finally look like a proper Championship team\u201d \u2013 Dave Estherby<\/p>\n \u201cIn the as-it-stands table, Spurs are currently 17th. The more things change\u2026\u201d \u2013 K\u00e1ri Tulinius<\/p>\n \u201cDear old Spurs. I\u2019m sure we all wish them well, but perhaps if they\u2019re to be humbled again this season, better it be kept out of sight? Sympathetic MBMers would, I think, be happier were you to devote the afternoon entirely to, say, Simon McMahon\u2019s posts from the Dundee derby. Probably also Spurs supporters\u201d \u2013 Charles Antaki<\/p>\n (It\u2019s goalless at Tannadice at the moment.)<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.22 EDT<\/p>\n HALF TIME: Brentford 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur<\/p>\n At the risk of belabouring an obvious point: Brentford<\/a> look like a team who have been together for a good while; Tottenham do not. Roberto De Zerbi disappears down the tunnel with a face on.<\/p>\n Are Spurs \u2018Livin\u2019 on a prayer? Jon Bon Jovi in the house. Photograph: Jordan Pettitt\/PAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.20 EDT<\/p>\n 45 min: Ouattara barrels down the left and crosses for Kayode, who rises over Tel with ease but sends his header from six yards wide left. So close to number three. There will be one added minute.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 43 min: \u2026 so having said that, almost immediately the hosts pile forward, Ouattara buying a ticket for the raffle from 25 yards. Just over the bar, though Kinsky had it covered.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 min: Spurs have stemmed the bleeding if nothing else. Brentford<\/a> have been pretty quiet in attack since going two up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 40 min: Gallagher, Tonali and Richarlison play some cute passes down the inside right; they feed Bergvall whose shot is blocked and cleared. Spurs come again, Tonali sending a speculative shot miles wide right. Better from Spurs, albeit with their floor having been set very low.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 38 min: Tonali, a \u00a3100m summer signing, gifts the ball to Ouattara under no pressure whatsoever. That just about sums up Tottenham\u2019s afternoon to this point.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 36 min: Some pinball in the Spurs box. Ouattara\u2019s shot is blocked by Van Hecke, who wins a free kick in the process. Spurs hanging on now. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna win the league,\u201d trill the Brentford<\/a> fans, before segueing into \u201cDown with the Fulham\u201d. The Brentford fans en f\u00eate.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 34 min: Spurs are rattled. Kinsky should have done better with Jensen\u2019s shot. And now Gallagher is booked for a frustrated trip on Kayode.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Brentford 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur (Janelt 33)<\/p>\n Richarlison is robbed 35 yards from his own goal. Jensen drives forward and sends a swerving shot at Kinsky, who parries \u2026 and tees up Janelt, who can\u2019t miss from six yards. This scoreline doesn\u2019t flatter Brentford<\/a> at all.<\/p>\n
