Tottenham go into the final day of the Premier League season two points above the relegation zone and without a single penalty awarded to them all campaign. We have now traced exactly when that drought began, and how far back the away penalty record goes.Most of us knew it had been a while. But the reality of it is still striking: close to a full calendar year since a Tottenham player stepped up in a league game and put a penalty past a keeper. We have played 37 Premier League matches in 2025-26 without a single spot-kick in our favour. Not one. Every other club in the division has had at least one. We haven’t.The 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge on 19 May made it sting all over again. Micky van de Ven was dragged to the floor by Marc Cucurella from a corner in the 85th minute, with the game at 2-1 and everything on the line. Referee Stuart Attwell booked Cucurella but didn’t point to the spot: the ball was ruled to have still been out of play when the foul happened, technically falling under IFAB Law 12. The Premier League confirmed it via their Match Centre account. Technically correct, perhaps. But for a set of supporters who have watched their club go an entire Premier League season without a single penalty in their favour, it felt entirely on brand.Photo by @shakir.4k / InstagramDominic Solanke scored the last Tottenham Premier League penalty on 25 May 2025, against BrightonIt was the final day of 2024-25. Dominic Solanke converted in the 17th minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, after Mathys Tel was fouled in the box by Brighton’s Mats Wieffer. It felt like a good omen: the Europa League trophy was back in the building after Bilbao three days earlier, and Spurs were 1-0 up on the last afternoon of the season.We all know how that day ended. Brighton tore us apart in the second half, Jack Hinshelwood scored twice from corners, Matt O’Riley slotted their own penalty, and Diego Gómez curled in a late fourth for a 4-1 defeat. But Solanke’s spot-kick on 25 May 2025 remains the last Premier League penalty Tottenham have scored. The Everton game on 24 May 2026 will arrive one day short of a full calendar year since that moment. We have gone an entire league campaign without being awarded one.The last Tottenham away penalty in the Premier League predates Harry Kane’s saleHere is where it gets even grimmer. All three of Tottenham’s Premier League penalties in 2024-25 were scored at home. Solanke’s against Brighton was at home. Go back to 2023-24 and Son Heung-min converted a penalty against Newcastle United on 10 December 2023, also at home, in the 4-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.To find the last time Spurs scored a Premier League penalty away from home, we have to go back to before Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023. Since his departure, across 2023-24, 2024-25, and now 2025-26, Tottenham have not been awarded a spot-kick in an away league fixture. That is the better part of three full seasons’ worth of away days, across dozens of grounds, with nothing. The Van de Ven incident at Stamford Bridge was not even awarded: the referees-versus-Tottenham argument has a new chapter to add, even if this one had a technical explanation.VAR and poor officiating have left this Tottenham side fighting with one hand tied behind its backWe know the counterargument: penalties are rare events, grey areas exist, these things even out. Except they have not evened out for us. Not once this season have we stepped up to take a Premier League penalty while every other club in the division has. There has been a goal wrongly disallowed against Arsenal, a red card the Premier League’s own disciplinary panel later admitted should have been given against Sunderland, 58 key match incident errors logged by the end of March compared to 44 across the whole of 2024-25. These have not been shared around equally.The James Maddison incident against Leeds on 11 May is still raw. VAR spent roughly 20 seconds on it. The Premier League spent over four minutes reviewing West Ham’s disallowed goal against Arsenal around the same time. A new camera angle that emerged afterwards suggested Nmecha never got a meaningful touch on the ball. We still don’t have a penalty. Then at Stamford Bridge, Cucurella hauls Van de Ven to the floor, gets a yellow card for it, and we still don’t get a penalty because the ball was deemed out of play. Correct or not, the cumulative picture is maddening.Spurs need a point against Everton to guarantee survivalRoberto De Zerbi called the home fixture against Everton the biggest game of his time at the club, bigger even than last year’s Europa League final in Bilbao.We sit two points above West Ham, who host Leeds at the London Stadium at the same time. A point keeps us up regardless of what happens across London. A win makes it irrelevant entirely. Only a defeat, combined with a West Ham win, sends us down for the first time since 1977.We control our fate. We don’t need a penalty against Everton, we just need a performance. But if we do get one, if a referee finally points to the twelve-yard spot in our favour in a Premier League game, it will arrive one day short of a full calendar year since the last time it happened. For those of us who have been watching, it will feel like a very long time coming.READ MORE: Three huge refereeing decisions that went against Tottenham in 1-1 Leeds drawThe post When was Tottenham’s last Premier League penalty?
