Tottenham Hotspur draw 0-0 with Nottingham Forest
Tottenham Hotspur secured their first Premier League point of the 2026-27 season with a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Despite a significant summer investment exceeding £300 million, the club has failed to score a single goal in its opening three league matches, a drought not seen since the 1974-75 season.
The match was marked by controversy when a second-half goal by Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams was disallowed following a VAR intervention for a suspected handball. Forest manager Oliver Glasner criticized the decision, suggesting the VAR was “guessing” rather than identifying a clear and obvious error.
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed satisfaction with his team's organization and performance but noted the need for better decision-making in the final third. He emphasized that building a cohesive team takes time, stating, “We bought very good players, but you cannot build a team only with names like in Football Manager.”
