Tottenham earned their first point of the Premier League season after a 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest, but things are still not clicking for Roberto De Zerbi’s new-look side.
Defeats to Brentford and Newcastle in the opening two games of the season had put Spurs under early-season scrutiny after a summer spend of almost £400m in the transfer window.
And it would have been three defeats to open their league campaign for the first time since 1980 had Forest not had a goal controversially disallowed by VAR midway through the second half.
Neco Williams’ effort was chalked off after the ball was ruled to have hit his arm as he bundled over the line to leave Forest furious.
Spurs only had half-chances as their wait for a goal goes on – this is the first time since 1974/75 that they have not scored in their first three games of a season – and De Zerbi has plenty of work to do.
Forest are also waiting for their first victory after also going through a summer of change under new boss Oliver Glasner.
