The first day of the Premier League continued this Sunday with a confrontation between Brentford and Tottenham before the clash between Chelsea and Liverpool. In this first meeting, the Spurs started ideally thanks to a free kick from James Maddison, well taken over on the verge of offside by Cristian Romero with a header (12th, 0-1). About fifteen minutes later, the locals took advantage of Heung-Min Son’s foul in the area to obtain a penalty, converted by Bryan Mbeumo (26th, 1-1).

While the two teams were heading towards a parity score at half-time, Emerson Royal responded in added time to Yoane Wissa who had taken advantage of a misunderstanding between a defender and the Spurs goalkeeper (37th and 45th + 4, 2-2). On returning from the locker room, the pace dropped and the two teams parted ways in a logical draw when the referee sent all the players out of the field despite Heung-Min Son’s great opportunity on the hour mark (59th).
