Tottenham earned their first point of the Premier League season after a 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest, yet frustrations linger for Roberto De Zerbi’s revamped squad.

After suffering defeats to Brentford and Newcastle in their opening matches, Spurs faced significant scrutiny early in the season, especially following a summer spending spree of nearly £400 million. The team was on the brink of enduring their first three defeats at the start of a league campaign since 1980, until a controversial VAR decision intervened.

Neco Williams had a goal disallowed for Nottingham Forest midway through the second half, as the ball was deemed to have hit his arm before crossing the line, leading to outrage among Forest players and fans.

Despite the draw, Spurs struggled to create clear opportunities, marking the first time since the 1974/75 season that they have failed to score in their first three league games. With the pressure mounting, De Zerbi faces a daunting task ahead to rejuvenate the squad and find their scoring touch.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest, under new manager Oliver Glasner, also seeks their first victory of the season after a transformative summer, adding to the tension in the early stages of the campaign. More follows.
