Nottingham Forest 0–0 Tottenham Hotspur
⚽ Match in 30 Seconds
Tottenham finally collected their first league point, but their wait for a goal continued. Forest thought Neco Williams had won it before VAR ruled the goal out for handball. Spurs finished without a single shot on target. (The Guardian)
📰 The Media Verdict
This was perhaps Matchweek 3’s harshest media verdict.
Sky noted Tottenham have failed to score in their opening three league matches for the first time since 1974. The Guardian went further: excluding a cup win over lower-level opposition, their league season now reads five conceded, none scored. (Sky Sports)
Media consensus: The crisis is no longer just results. Tottenham look toothless.
⚖️ Media Split — Forest’s disallowed goal
Forest manager Oliver Glasner accused VAR of effectively “guessing” that Williams had handled the ball because the evidence was not clear enough. (The Guardian)
This is the strongest refereeing controversy of the Matchweek.
