On May 20th, 2023, Tottenham Hotspur faced off against Brentford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The match ended in a 3-1 victory for Brentford.

Tottenham took the lead in the 8th minute with a stunning goal from Harry Kane, which also broke the record for the number of different matches scored in during a Premier League season. However, Brentford fought back with goals from Bryan Mbeumo in the 50th and 62nd minutes, before Yoane Wissa sealed the victory for the visitors in the 88th minute.

Throughout the match, Tottenham struggled to maintain control and defend their lead, leading to multiple changes in their lineup. However, the team couldn't turn things around, and their loss left them in 7th place with just one game left for the season.

Social media posts after the match overwhelmingly focused on Harry Kane's record-setting goal and the potential end of his time at Tottenham. Many fans expressed sympathy for the star striker and noted the incredible achievement of scoring 29 goals in the season, particularly given the team's dysfunction. Tottenham's poor results this season have some fans discussing potential moves for Kane, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Manchester United all being mentioned as possible destinations.

In contrast, Brentford received praise for a strong performance against top clubs this season, greatly exceeding expectations. Thomas Frank was lauded for getting impressive results from his team, and Bryan Mbeumo was seen as exceptional, with some considering him underrated compared to his attacking partner Ivan Toney.

The match left Tottenham facing the possibility of missing out on European football altogether, adding to the notion that Kane may decide to leave the club for greener pastures.
