Tottenham Hotspur’s search for its first league win in 2026 continued as they were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest at home.
Tottenham Hotspur have entered the March international break without a Premier League win in 2026. As staggering as it may sound, Spurs are the only club to have not tasted a league victory this year.
The North Londoners were handed a 3-0 humiliation by Nottingham Forest on Sunday. With this win, Nottingham Forest leapfrogged Tottenham into 16th spot, piling more misery on Igor Tudor in the process. Igor Tudor has lost four and drawn one of his five league games in charge, failing to bring stability to the club after being appointed as the interim boss in mid-February.
Tottenham did enter the Nottingham Forest fixture on the back of a couple of positive results. They took a valuable point against Liverpool last weekend, which was followed by a 3-2 win against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie. Owing to these results, Spurs held an edge over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Peter Schmeichel left shocked after learning about Tottenham’s defeat to Nottingham Forest
Tottenham had a great opportunity to build on those results by beating Forest at home. Instead, they were outworked and outsmarted by Vitor Pereira and his men. They came up with a clear plan and executed it brilliantly.
Legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel was shocked when he heard that he had lost to Forest. The big Dane insisted that it is unbelievable, given how well Tudor’s men played against Atletico Madrid last week, to then go down against Vitor Pereira’s side, given how high the stakes were.
“No, you’re kidding me”, Peter Schmeichel said on Viaplay.
“Honestly, how can you go from winning against Atletico Madrid 3-2, in a game where they played well in the Champions League, a tournament that should be so irrelevant to any Spurs player, manager and coach and then go and lose 3-0 to Nottingham Forest?
“That’s embarrassing, really. And it shows you where they are now. They are on the way to the Championship.”
Spurs set to part ways with Tudor by mutual consent
It was a shocking performance from Tottenham against Forest. The Midlands outfit totally deserved the win, and the result on Sunday have left us just a point above the drop zone.
Spurs only have seven games left to save their season and avoid relegation. The key decision-makers of the club see the international break as the ideal time to make a managerial change. Reputed journalist Alasdair Gold has revealed that parting ways with Tudor by mutual consent is now the likeliest scenario. As the Croatian tactician lost his father, Mario, on Sunday, the N17 chiefs want to handle the situation very sensitively.
That said, Tottenham could very well have a new manager in place for the next game at Sunderland on April 12.
