Match summary

If you were hoping for a Saturday afternoon thriller, this probably wasn’t the one.

Forest and Spurs cancelled each other out in a cagey 0-0 draw, with neither side able to turn possession into much danger. Forest came closest to breaking the deadlock, but Williams’ disallowed goal was the closest either team got to celebrating.

Spurs, meanwhile, somehow managed not a single shot on target. Three league games, zero goals. Somewhere, a Spurs striker is probably still looking for the net.

Key moments

  • Forest thought they’d finally woken everyone up — only for VAR to hit the snooze button. Neco Williams bundled the ball over the line, but his effort was ruled out for handball after a VAR review.

Head-to-head history

In the Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham head to head, Spurs lead overall with roughly 59 wins to Forest's 41 and 29 draws. Recently, though, Forest have taken over: they won 3-0 at home in December 2025 and then 3-0 again at Tottenham in March 2026, arriving at this season with three consecutive wins in the fixture.

Why this match mattered

Neither side got the breakthrough they desperately needed, leaving both Forest and Spurs still searching for their first Premier League win of the season. For Who2Win, though, there’s a more important question than the 0-0: Who did neutrals WANT to win? Because when the football is putting you to sleep, at least the fan vote can provide some entertainment.

Who2Win Verdict

The poll was finely balanced, with Nottingham Forest taking 51% of the 284 votes and Tottenham Hotspur receiving 49%. Forest held the narrow edge in fan preference, underlining how evenly divided supporters were over which team they wanted to win.

Forest’s strongest backing came from the United Kingdom, United States, India, Canada and the Netherlands. Tottenham drew their strongest support from Australia, Germany, Ireland, Portugal and Brazil. The spread across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania highlights the global appeal of both Premier League clubs, with Forest leading overall despite Tottenham attracting substantial international support.
