Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham Match Report: Spurs finally pick up first point of season

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham finally avoid defeat in the Premier League, but remain without a goal after three games following a goalless draw at Forest.Tottenham Hotspur have extended their winless Premier League run after defeats to Brentford and Newcastle United in weeks one and two respectively, but they were at least able to leave the City Ground with their first point of the season.£85 million summer signing Savio made his first Tottenham start and had a very good one too, completing the most dribbles in the game (4) and also creating the joint-most big chances (1). Mykhaylo Mudryk made the bench after being signed on loan from Chelsea last week.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramFirst half: Spurs 0-0 Nottingham ForestIt was a stop-start opening for both teams, who were looking for their first Premier League win, but Tottenham were the better side overall in terms of attacking threat as they created 2 big chances compared to Forest’s 1.The first of those came 20 minutes in when Pedro Porro found Omar Marmoush’s run through the centre of the park with a brilliant curving long ball, but the Egyptian scuffed his shot just past the left-hand post with only the goalkeeper to beat.Morgan Gibbs-White squandered two efforts before the break; first firing an effort well over from the edge of the Spurs box before being denied by Antonin Kinsky in a one-on-one situation, although the flag went up after the save.Second half: Spurs 0-0 Nottingham ForestCaptain Micky van de Ven had an incredible game throughout, playing a big part in helping Spurs keep the clean sheet with his recovery runs, but he also came close to scoring as well, heading just wide from a corner.It could have been a huge calamity for Spurs four minutes past the hour mark when Gibbs-White chipped Kinsky, with the ball bouncing towards an empty net. Sandro Tonali made a mess of a clearance on the goal line before Neco Williams eventually forced it over. However, VAR reviewed the footage and ruled that Williams had handled the ball, disallowing the goal.Kinsky also deserves a shoutout for his distribution, launching a long ball into Marmoush’s path to start a promising counter-attack. Marmoush, however, fired well over despite having Mohammed Kudus free on the other side of the Forest box.Spurs did not have a single shot on target throughout the game, with Dominic Solanke wasting a late Mateus Fernandes cross as he looped his header onto the roof of the net.That was that at the City Ground, with Tottenham finally picking up their first point of the Premier League season, but still without a goal after three games.Spurs Web man of the match: Rodrigo BentancurREAD MORE: Five things we learned from Tottenham’s 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest – Spurs WebThe post Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham Match Report: Spurs finally pick up first point of season appeared first on Spurs Web.
