Tottenham begin life without Harry Kane with 2-2 draw at Brentford in Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 2-2 draw against Brentford in their opening match of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

Ange Postecoglou had a thrilling start to his Premier League managerial career with a dramatic 2-2 draw against Brentford. This season-opening game on Sunday marked the beginning of Tottenham's life without their star striker, Harry Kane.

New recruit James Maddison, who is now donning Kane's iconic number 10 shirt, bravely led the Spurs' midfield, providing them with a crucial edge in the match. The midfielder showed promising signs by delivering two assists that saw Tottenham take the lead, then lose it, but eventually claw back to secure a hard-fought point. All four goals were scored in an action-packed first half.
