comment

How about this, Kudus is trying to speed the game up in the Forest half, and manages to commit a foul throw...

90'

•

comment

Forest defend well on numerous occasions from the corner, with Kudus also finding a cross from the opposite side which goes out for a goal kick.

comment

Brilliant from Mudryk, who turn Munoz with the Forest wing-back fouling him. Chance for Spurs to get a ball into the box.

comment

There will be a minimum of five minutes of added time, will we see a late winner?

90'

Substitution

Final change for Forest. Murillo, who looked to pick up an injury, makes way for Diomande.

highlight

LATE CHANCE FOR SOLANKE! Against the run of play, Kudus manages to dig out a cross from the right-hand side. Solanke rises well and hangs in the air, before his attempt at placing a header hits the roof of the net.

88'

•

comment

Forest’s changes have made a real impact in the turn of the match. Jesus has come on and added an extra dimension in the attack for the hosts, but Spurs have reacted well and defended impressively of late.

86'

•

comment

Fernandes was on the pitch for just 42 seconds before his booking. One of the quicker cautions you will ever see in football...

84'

Yellow Card

Fernandes’ first action in the match is giving away a free-kick, with McAtee just beating the Portuguese man to the ball.

84'

Substitution

Marmoush also makes way, with Solanke on in his place.

83'

Substitution

Final changes for Spurs, Gallagher is replaced by Fernandes after a good shift.

83'

•

comment

It is now Forest’s turn to be the driving force in the match. They currently look the more likely to get a late winner, but Spurs do have a lot of pace for a potential counter attack.

81'

•

comment

A brilliant display of calmness from Bentancur, with the Uruguayan intercepting a cross in his own box, before carrying the ball out of the box and forcing Gibbs-White to give away a throw.

79'

•

comment

It has been a no-nonsense match here, with Murillo the most recent to put absolutely everything behind a clearance. If it does remain 0-0, it will be one of the better ones you could witness.

78'

Yellow Card

McAtee is booked for blatantly bringing down Kudus on the counter.

76'

comment

14 minutes plus a hefty amount of added time to go, can either side take all three points here?

74'

Substitution

Delap departs after a tough first start, with Wood on in his place.

74'

Substitution

Here come changes for both sides. Mudryk is on for his Spurs debut and return to football, replacing Tel.

72'

•

comment

Kinsky does brilliantly to pick out a long ball to Marmoush. The striker does well to take control and create a shooting opportunity, but the effort is fired over the bar. A chance for Spurs.

69'

•

VAR

DISSALOWED! After a VAR review, Craig Pawson announces to the stadium that the goal has been disallowed due to a handball by Williams.

67'

•

highlight

GOAL! FOREST LEAD! AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY! It is a real mix-up at the back for Spurs! Kinsky flies out and manages to get something on Gibbs-White's effort, with the ball bouncing towards the empty goal. Both Tonali and Van Hecke chase back to clear, but get in the way of each other, then Williams bundles it into the net. He may have handled this in however, they are currently checking...

65'

•

comment

Spurs have had 65% possession since the break, as well as five efforts and an xG of 1.04. Forest are yet to have a shot in the second 45.

63'

•

comment

Frustrating for Spurs, as they try to play a quick free-kick to Kudus, but the referee pulls play back again. Clever attempt from Gallagher.

61'

Substitution

Savio, who caused a lot of trouble down the right, is off for Kudus.

61'

Substitution

Now Spurs make their first moves. Robertson is on for Udogie.

59'

Substitution

After a tough afternoon, Ndoye is replaced by Jesus.

59'

Substitution

Here come the Forest changes. The first sees Aina make way for Munoz – a debut for the Colombian.

57'

comment

In response to Spurs’ domination, Glasner is preparing changes.

56'

•

comment

Van de Ven has a chance to give Spurs the lead, as he connects with a cross into the six-yard box. Sels goes down thinking he had been impeded, but the Dutchman cleanly won the header. Unfortunately for the captain, his header down is wide of the post.

54'

•

comment

Marmoush takes matters into his own hands and take the free-kick, but his effort is blocked by a big Forest wall. Spurs now fully on the front foot, and Gallagher has just won Spurs another corner.

52'

Yellow Card

Confirmation of Milenkovic’s booking for the late tackle.

52'

•

comment

Marmoush has just won Spurs a free-kick right on the edge of the area, with the attacker just beating Milenkovic to the ball. Huge chance for Spurs.

51'

•

comment

So far, Porro has created the most chances (three), had the most touches (53), and put in the most crosses (four).

48'

•

comment

Both bosses couldn't be too disappointed, or happy, with the first half. There were positives for the managers, the fact that neither is losing the match, and have been comfortable, but the lack of threat in attack will be a worry for both.

46'

•

comment

THE SECOND 45 IS UNDERWAY! Neither boss has opted to make any changes to the XI’s at the break.

•

comment

Despite going into the match as slight underdogs, Spurs now are the favourites according to Opta. The visitors now have a 32.7% chance of victory, with Forest having a 30.3% likelihood. The draw is the most likely outcome, with a 37.1% chance of coming true.

•

half_time summary

We go into the break as we started the afternoon, with the score level at 0-0. It has been a frantic opening 45, full of challenges and small errors. Both teams' best chances were ruled out straight after. Marmoush drilled a low effort just past the left post, but fouled Williams in the build-up. At the other end, Gibbs-White ran through on goal, but couldn't beat Kinsky from close range, before the flag was up for offside anyway. Forest have just edged things on expected goals, with the score 0.37-0.34 in their favour.

HALF-TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0-0 TOTTENHAM

45'

Yellow Card

First booking of the match goes to Udogie. He loses possession, before a lazy right leg takes down Ndoye.

45'

•

comment

There will be a minimum of just one minute of added time.

44'

•

highlight

CHANCE WASTED FOR GIBBS-WHITE! The Englishman drifted in behind the Spurs defence and is found with a through pass. He looks to be in and carries the ball into the box. He tries to beat the outrushing Kinsky, but the Tottenham keeper makes a crucial low save to keep things level. Similarly to Marmoush’s chance at the other end, it may not have counted, with the referee blowing his whistle for an offside straight after.

41'

•

comment

Things have calmed down in the last few minutes, with Spurs just regaining control inside the Forest half.

38'

•

comment

The referee should take control of the match before it boils over. Williams takes out Kinsky, and just a minute later Van de Ven is forced down by Ndoye. Bentancur goes into a 50-50 with full force as well. It is an old-school affair.

35'

•

comment

Ndoye and Tonali have just had a fantastic battle for possession, but the Forest man wins his side a corner. The ball is played towards the back post, before Murillo attempts a bicycle kick after the knock back across goal. It doesn't trouble Kinsky and goes well over the bar.

32'

•

comment

Forest have been on top for the last five minutes, building momentum inside the Spurs half. Cunha goes for a spectacular effort from outside the area, but the strike goes just over the bar, with Kinsky ready to make the stop.

31'

•

comment

Only Ndoye (eight) has had less touches than Delap’s nine. The Forest striker, who is making his first start for the club, has had it tough in the opening half-an-hour.

28'

•

comment

First sight of goal for Gibbs-White, after Spurs fail to clear just outside their own box. It falls to their talisman, but his first-time effort flies over the crossbar.

25'

•

comment

Despite Spurs being the more dangerous of the two sides, the only save of the game came from Kinsky, after a tame effort by McAtee in the opening 10 minutes. Spurs are yet to trouble Sels in net.

23'

•

comment

Savio is causing problems down the right-flank. He jinks away from his man, before Williams barges the Brazilian to the floor.

21'

•

comment

Spurs have had 64% possession in the opening 20 minutes. Keeping the ball hasn't been an issue for them in the opening part of the season but finding the connections in the final third is what they have struggled with.

19'

•

highlight

WIDE FROM MARMOUSH! Porro picks out the striker with a fantastic ball through the middle of the park, finding the run of the Egyptian. Marmoush looks to tussle off Williams, before he flashes a low effort just wide of the post. It wouldn't have counted however, with the referee awarding Williams a free-kick.

17'

•

comment

This has been such a scrappy start to proceedings, with both sides not playing much free-flowing football. Spurs are doing better of the sides, and perhaps look slightly more of a threat going forwards.

14'

•

comment

This time, Ndoye is certainly fortunate to have not picked up a booking, as he drags back Udogie and commits the free-kick.

13'

•

comment

Pre-match, Forest were the favourites according to the Opta supercomputer, with a 40% chance of victory (Spurs 34%). After the visitor's strong start, they have since become the favourites (36.4% for Spurs, 35.3% for Forest).

comment

As we hit the 10th minute, Spurs have just won their fifth corner of the afternoon. They were a standout team last campaign from set pieces – they would love one to end in a goal soon.

•

comment

Murillo and the Forest crowd are left shocked as Spurs are awarded a corner kick. It looked like the Brazilian played the ball onto Porro, but Spurs have the corner...

•

comment

McAtee is perhaps lucky to not get an early booking, as he clatters Gallagher down. Forest are having a tough time keeping hold of the ball so far.

•

comment

It has been a stop-start opening few minutes here, with a lot of small fouls. Aina has just sloppily given away the first corner, as his pass back goes straight out of play.

•

comment

Glasner has only won more Premier League games against Wolves (four) than he has against Tottenham (three).

comment

KICK-OFF: We are underway at The City Ground!

comment

The sides are out onto the pitch. We are just minutes away from kick-off!

•

comment

Only Bruno Fernandes (22) has been involved in more Premier League goals in 2026 than Nottingham Forest’s Gibbs-White (17 – 13 goals, four assists), with Gibbs-White’s 13 goals the most in the competition so far this year.

•

team news

After a second loss in two matches, Roberto De Zerbi makes three changes to their last XI. Udogie comes in for his first start of the season, replacing Robertson at left-back. In a surprise change, Fernandes drops to the bench, with Gallagher given the nod. The third and final change sees Savio make his first start for Spurs, replacing Gray (Porro drops to right-back).

•

team news

Forest boss Oliver Glasner makes just the one change to the side that drew at Anfield last time out. It is a straight swap up top, as Delap comes in for Jesus to make his first start for the club. Today is a special day for goalkeeper Sels, who makes his 100th appearance for Forest, with 88 of those coming in the Premier League.

•

comment

Despite an impressive and chaotic transfer window, on the pitch has been a worry for Spurs. Today’s visitors have conceded five goals in their opening two matches, scoring none and losing both. Last week's performance against Newcaslte was certainly an improvement on the calamity of a display against Brentford, but they desperately need some points on the board. If they continue to lose matches, they may start to feel like they did last season...

•

comment

After a shaky first few days of the season, losing at home to Leeds United in both the Premier League and EFL Cup, Forest picked up their first point of the season away to Liverpool. Despite taking the lead twice at Anfield, they walked away with a 2-2 draw and could take some real confidence with them. They will be looking towards their talisman, Morgan Gibbs-White, who was involved in both goals last weekend.
