Tottenham Hotspur faced a significant setback, suffering a 3–0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest, raising concerns over the possibility of relegation.
This defeat follows what had seemed to be a promising week for Spurs, which included a hard-fought draw at Anfield and a morale-boosting 3–2 win against Atlético Madrid, as well as having drawn 1:1 with Liverpool in the Premier League 2025/26 round 30 match. However, the loss in North London has placed interim manager Igor Tudor under renewed scrutiny.
Now, Tottenham finds itself without a victory in the last 13 Premier League games, currently positioned 17th in the standings, only one point clear of West Ham United. Softfootball reported that the final whistle elicited boos from the supporters, and social media has been filled with strong reactions.

Disagree. The management within Tottenham has killed us. Our transfers have been awful and for too long we relied on Kane and Son. We don’t have big purchasing power but it’s better than most.

Tottenham’s defence is that bad they’re making Forest look like Barcelona, what’s going on at Spurs, bottle job or what?

Felt down. Turned on BBC 5 Live and there’s some nutty Irishman explaining that the solution to all Tottenham’s woes is simply to bring in Tony Pullis – and also to allow him to headbut all of their first team
The team’s woes intensified with the injury to Mathys Tel, who had to leave the field, while Lucas Bergvall squandered a crucial opportunity that could have reignited the match.
Nottingham Forest, buoyed by their progress in the Europa League, achieved their first league victory since January 25, thanks to Taiwo Awoniyi’s tap-in from a cross by Neco Williams.
This result places Tottenham in a precarious position as the pressure mounts as the season nears its end. Additionally, Cristian Romero has sparked fresh transfer speculation after reaffirming his loyalty to Tottenham Hotspur while leaving the possibility of a summer move open.
