Brentford vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and final score today
Spurs travel to the Gtech Community Stadium as they prepare for life after Harry Kane
Tottenham Hotspur gave new manager Ange Postecoglou a rollercoaster Premier League debut when they started life after Harry Kane with a 2-2 draw in their opening game at Brentford on Sunday.
New signing James Maddison, taking on departed captain Kane’s number 10 shirt, pulled the strings in midfield and provided two assists as Spurs took the lead, fell behind and came back for a point with all the goals in a lively first half.
Cristian Romero headed the visitors in front in the 11th minute, after a long VAR check for possible offside, but Bryan Mbeumo equalised 15 minutes later from the penalty spot and the Bees were 2-1 up in the 36th after a deflected Yoane Wissa shot.
Tottenham, who said farewell to Kane when the club’s record scorer signed for Bayern Munich on Saturday, then made it 2-2 in first-half stoppage time when Emerson Royal lashed in a pass from Maddison.

Deep in Brentford territory, Bissouma bundles over Janelt and then Henry, but only his challenge on the latter is deemed worthy of a free-kick for Brentford.

An overhit pass by Maddison drifts out of play on the right byline, but the Spurs debutant has been one of few players to have made a mark on today's game for the visitors. In addition to his assist for Tottenham's goal, he has looked to link the play in familiar style.

Norgaard can't quite bring a cross into the six-yard box under control, and the ball loops up off his boot, which allows Vicario to leap high and claim it.

After Henry fires a dangerous low ball across the box from the left, an alert Udogie covers from full-back and steals the way from a Brentford boot when immediate danger was looming.

Vicario is called upon again, as Wissa pulls off an acrobatic overhead kick from near the penalty spot, which loops up and into the goalkeeper's gloves on the centre of his goal-line.
