Tottenham started the season fresh with a great victory in the opening game.
Tottenham won 3-0 in the first round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Burnley in the 2025-2026 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 16th (Korea time) with a multi-goal by Hisalisson and a net by Brennan Johnson. Tottenham, which ranked 17th in the 2024-2025 season, the club's worst performance ever, in its final season at Tottenham, where Son Heung-min participated, raised expectations for a rebound with its opening win. Thomas Frank, the successor of former coach Enzi Postecoglou, who was dismissed after leading the European Europa League (UEL), won his debut victory on his league debut on the 14th, leaving behind the disappointment of failing to win the European Super Cup final.
Hishalisson scored only five goals in all tournaments last season, scoring multiple goals in a single game to kickstart his revival. Mohamed Qudus not only helped Hishalisson's multi-goal with a sharp cross in his Tottenham debut, but also created five chances, marking the birth of a new ace to succeed former captain Son Heung-min (LA FC).
Frank had Hishalisson at the top and placed Mohammed Qudus and Brennan Johnson on both wings. Johnson was chosen as the position replacement for former captain Son Heung-min, who left Tottenham for the first time in 10 years. In the 4-3-3 formation, Lucas Veribal, Archie Gray, and Pape Saro set up a midfield team, Pedro Porro, 'Confidence Claims' Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn, and Jed Spence set up a four-back. I left the goalkeeper's gloves to Guglielo Gianluigi. Considering the Super Cup schedule with Paris Saint-Germain, the team tried to rotate some of the midfield players.
In the first minute of the game, Beribal had a decisive chance at the gate. Beribal's shot, handed a rear long pass, did not lead to a 'admission goal', but it was a positive sign. Tottenham, riding the flow, scored the first goal in the 10th minute of the first half. Kudus' cross to the door from the right was accurately connected to Hishalisson in the middle of the penalty box, and Hishalisson shook the net with a sensational right-footed volley without holding the ball.
Burnley then threatened Tottenham's defense in a counterattack, but it did not lead to a goal. Tottenham maintained a 70% share and took the game to its advantage. Tottenham finished with a 1-0 lead in the first half.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Van der Penn's header slightly missed the post. Tottenham ran away by scoring an additional goal in the 15th minute of the second half. He scored in a pattern similar to the first goal. Kudus crossed from the right, and Hishalisson scored with a bicycle kick that was more difficult than the first goal this time.
Tottenham sealed the match in the 21st minute of the second half with Johnson's additional goal. Hishalisson defended the ball at the halfway line, and Johnson, who was assisted by Sarr, finished the scoring. Tottenham's home fans gave a standing ovation to Hisalisson, who was being replaced. Coach Frank filled up the energy by putting in Hodrigo Bentancur, Dominic Solanke, João Palinha, Wilson O'Donbert and Matisse Tell one after another. The match ended in Tottenham's 3-0 victory.
