Tottenham Hotspur head coach Roberto Di Zerbi criticised his side’s approach after they lost 3-0 at Brentford in their opening match of the 2026-27 Premier League season. He said Spurs “didn’t fight in the right way”, signalling concern over the team’s performance and mentality in a damaging early defeat.

Brentford secured a convincing three-goal victory, leaving Tottenham without points after the first fixture of the campaign. The comments came in Di Zerbi’s post-match interview following the match at Brentford.
