Nottingham Forest secured a 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, extending Spurs' winless run in the Premier League to 13 games in 2026. Goals came from Igor Jesus, Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi for Forest under manager Vitor Pereira. Tottenham assistant Bruno Saltor expressed continued support for interim coach Igor Tudor despite the loss.
Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on March 22, 2026, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This result left Spurs as the only top-flight team without a win in 2026, marking their 13th consecutive winless league game this year and their fourth straight Premier League loss to Forest. Forest climbed above third-bottom Spurs, who sit a point above West Ham, which lost 2-0 at Aston Villa the previous day. Forest now lead West Ham by three points with a nine-goal goal difference advantage ahead of the final seven matches. Igor Jesus opened the scoring in the 45th minute with a header from Neco Williams' corner. Morgan Gibbs-White doubled the lead 17 minutes after the break from Callum Hudson-Odoi's cut-back, and Taiwo Awoniyi sealed the win four minutes from time via Williams' cross. Tottenham made three changes from their midweek Champions League second-leg win over Atletico Madrid (3-2, but 5-7 aggregate loss), bringing in Richarlison, Dominic Solanke and Kevin Danso. At half-time, Igor Tudor substituted Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence for Destiny Udogie and Lucas Bergvall, described by assistant Bruno Saltor as tactical moves to add dynamism. Saltor, handling post-match media due to Tudor's family matter, said Tudor 'of course' has the club's support. 'We feel the support from everyone at the club... You could see the players care and they are 100% trying their best,' Saltor stated, noting Spurs were the better team early but failed to capitalize. Former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson criticized Tudor on BBC Radio 5 Live, calling the team 'rudderless' and predicting scrutiny before their April 12 visit to Sunderland. Forest's Vitor Pereira, their fourth manager this season, earned a crucial win after holding off Tottenham's bright first-half start. Spurs fans gathered outside the stadium pre-match but many left before the end.
