Tottenham Hotspur remained goalless in a 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday, continuing a frustrating start to their Premier League season. This marked the third consecutive league match without a goal for Spurs, who had lost their first two games of the season against Brentford and Newcastle without scoring. Despite an improved performance from manager Roberto De Zerbi’s team, Tottenham failed to find the net and only earned their first point of the season, lifting them off the bottom of the table. Forest, meanwhile, picked up two points from their first three matches after losing to Leeds and drawing with Liverpool. Spurs struggled to create clear chances, with only one shot on target in the match. Excluding a 5-1 win over a lower-tier team in the Carabao Cup, Tottenham’s record this season reads: five goals conceded and none scored. Forest had a goal disallowed in the second half when Neco Williams was judged to have handled the ball while attempting to clear a deflected shot. The decision sparked frustration among the home fans, but it also gave Spurs a glimmer of hope. Despite this, Spurs' attack continued to falter, with only a late header from Dominic Solanke coming close to breaking the deadlock. The lack of firepower was evident, particularly with last season’s top scorer Richarlison absent from the squad after rejecting an offer from Everton. Richarlison has been training separately and was not included in the 25-man squad. While Tottenham had glimpses of quality from new signings, such as Savio, a £75m arrival from Manchester City, and Mykhailo Mudryk, who made his first competitive appearance in over two years, these moments were fleeting. Forest’s Tonali, a £92.5m signing from Newcastle, impressed defensively, but the match remained goalless. The draw leaves both teams winless in the league, with Spurs now looking ahead to their upcoming match against Everton, which has gained added significance. For Forest, the result is a mixed blessing, with the disallowed goal still a point of contention. The match highlighted the defensive strength of both sides, with three-man backlines neutralizing each other and making it difficult for either team to break through. As the season progresses, the pressure on De Zerbi to deliver results will only increase, with Tottenham’s £300m-plus summer recruitment drive yet to bear fruit.
