Overview
- Tottenham were held to a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, extending their run to three Premier League games without a goal and leaving them winless after three matches.
- Manager Roberto De Zerbi called the squad a 'work in progress' as he defends a major rebuild while also publicly criticising his forwards for poor choices in the final third.
- A Forest goal by Neco Williams was ruled out for handball after a VAR review, a decision that drew sharp complaints from Forest manager Oliver Glasner and left the match contentious.
- Reports say Tottenham made medical substitutions for summer signing Savio and Destiny Udogie, and one outlet claimed Spurs had no shots on target at the City Ground, a point noted as a limited‑source assertion.
- The blank start is the club’s first time failing to score in its opening three league games since 1974–75, a stat that increases scrutiny given heavy summer attacking investment and the looming home game against Everton.
