Tottenham Hotspur, where Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC) left, faced its first relegation crisis in 49 years. Tottenham, which has not been able to accumulate points in the absence of an ace, has been criticized in the region that it is impossible to remain under the interim coach Igor Tudor.

British media 'BBC' said on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time), "How can Coach Tudor survive Tottenham?" and added, "He is barely in 17th place, the remaining Maginot line, losing to Nottingham Forest, a competitor in the competition." Tottenham's nearly half-century journey to the first division is on the verge of ending," he reported.

The media continued, "Tottenham Legend insisted that it was impossible for the club to remain under Tudor's leadership," adding, "The team's atmosphere has stagnated too much." "The only way to change the atmosphere is to change the coach that fans want," he added.

Tottenham was completely defeated 0-3 in the 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 22nd.

With this defeat, Tottenham continued its worst slump in 13 league games in 2026, with five draws and eight losses and not even one win. Tottenham, which had 30 points (7 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses), dropped to 17th place after giving up 16th place to Nottingham (32 points).

Even Tottenham is only one point away from 18th-ranked West Ham United (29 points), which is in the relegation zone. Demotion can be realized depending on the results of the remaining seven games.

On this day, Tottenham played as a 4-4-2 type who set Dominic Solanke and Hishalisson as two-top players, but they were lethargic. In the 16th minute of the first half, Kevin Danso's long throw did not follow luck, with the ball hitting the post.

On the other hand, Nottingham took the lead with Igor Jeju's header in the 45th minute of a corner kick. Tottenham suffered from a lack of decisiveness in the extra time of the first half, with Matistel's sharp mid-range shot hitting the goalkeeper's hand and hitting the post.

At the start of the second half, Tudor put Lucas Beribal and Destiny Udo-gi in the game, but rather collapsed with additional points. 17 min Nottingham's Callum Hudson-Odoi scored his team's second goal with a cutback pass. In the 22nd minute, even Tel was injured, and as they were dragged 0-2, thousands of Tottenham home fans began to leave the stadium before the end of the game.

In the end, Tottenham, which even allowed a decisive goal to Taiwo Awoniyi in the 42nd minute, suffered a 0-3 defeat.

After the game, Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson said on the BBC, "I don't see any tactics or game plans. The coach lashed out, saying, "I'm lost and there's no time."

Tottenham suffered the second-longest winless record humiliation in the club's history of 13 consecutive league games since Son Heung-min, the team's spiritual leader and fixer, left for the U.S. stage until last season.
