Tottenham Hotspur sit bottom of the table after suffering a 3-0 defeat away at Brentford in their Premier League opener.Goals from Keane Lewis-Potter and Vitaly Janelt had the Bees two goals up with a little over half an hour played on Saturday evening.Brentford battered Spurs in their Premier League opener on SaturdayAFPDe Zerbi watched on in horror as his Spurs side were well beatenGettyBrentford then added their third via Michael Kayode in the opening stages of the second half to effectively win the three points.It could have got even worse for Spurs as they conceded a penalty moments later, but Igor Thiago hit the post.Defeat for the north Londoners is their joint-worst in an opening match of a Premier League season.It has come 15 years after they lost 3-0 away to Manchester United.Spurs have also lost away to Brentford for the first time since 1948 when they were beaten 3-1 at Griffin Park.And after finishing 17th in back-to-back seasons, Tottenham have once again been battered – despite spending over £230million this window.What has been said about Spurs’ defeat to Brentfod?talkSPORT’s resident Spurs fan Jamie O’Hara was live on the GameDay Phone-In during the match and was, unsurprisingly, fuming. He took issue with Richarlison, who didn’t manage a single shot and committed two fouls during the match.“You cannot start a Premier League season like that, and I know there’s injuries, but that is absolutely disgraceful,” ex-Spurs midfielder O’Hara insisted during his half-time analysis.“With Richarlison, I don’t know why this guy is still at our football club, he ain’t good enough.Richarlison failed to make an impact at the Gtech Community StadiumShutterstock EditorialO’Hara coculdn’t believe what he was watching as Spurs were bullied in west LondontalkSPORT“You’ve got (Dominic) Solanke… I’d rather play James Maddison up front. Like, genuinely, Maddison, I’ll play him as a false nine.“Seriously, Richarlison cannot play for Tottenham anymore, he’s nowhere near good enough, get him off the pitch.”O’Hara added: “(Lucas) Bergvall and Richarlison are the reason why we finished 17th for the last two seasons.”Speaking following the full-time whistle, O’Hara then declared that it could be another season of battling relegation if his beloved side don’t improve – and fast.He remarked: “If we play like that we will go down, because you cannot turn up to a football match and play like that, they should be ashamed of themselves.“That is a disgrace, an absolute disgrace, and we have been scammed once again by Richarlison.Could Spurs be set for another challenging campaign?“It’s so bad, I’m ashamed to be a Spurs fan – one game in.“How can you give us that on the first day? Absolute guff.”Spurs, who failed to get a shot on target in the first half of a Premier League match for the tenth time since the beginning of last season, arrived at Brentford after a £230m summer spending spree.And that figure is set to rise to over £300m with Savinho closing in on a move from Manchester City.Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Sandro Tonali were all of the summer arrivals who started.Mateus Fernandes came off the bench at the start of the second half, but none of Roberto De Zerbi’s signings impressed.Up next for Spurs is a home tie against Newcastle next weekend, while table-toppers Brentford travel to Leeds.
