Son Heung-min also lamented, "Tottenham's two bizarre faces, are you the team that caught Dortmund?" Europe is also questioning the relegation zone. "I went to the UCL 16th..."

Son Heung-min (34, LA FC) is also deplorable. His former team, Tottenham, is on the verge of relegation from the English Premier League (EPL), but he performed fairly well in the European match.

Germany's Sport 1 reported on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time) that "Tottenham reached a historic low, recording its worst performance in more than 110 years, with a complete defeat by Nottingham Forest, a relegation rival."

Tottenham's move this season is even bizarre. Unlike the endless slump in the league, he made it to the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) before losing to Atletico Madrid. In the league phase, he showed his strength in the top eight by beating Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt. Therefore, the fans are more disappointed," he said.

Tottenham was completely defeated 0-3 at home in the 31st round of the "2025-2026 English Premier League" against Nottingham Forest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 22nd.

Tottenham, which has been mired in 13 league games (5 draws and 8 losses), fell to 17th place with 30 points (7 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses). The final 18th-20th place in the EPL will be relegated to the English Championship (Second Division). Tottenham is only one point behind West Ham (29 points), which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone. The reality of relegation for the first time in 49 years since 1977 is just around the corner. Currently, there are only seven games left to prevent a catastrophe.

Tottenham shot a total of five times in the first half alone, but they were not threatening. Rather, he allowed Igor Jesus to score the first goal in the 45th minute of the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham changed its tactics by excluding defenders such as Mickey van der Pen and Jed Spence and putting Destiny Udogi and Lucas Beribal in. However, Morgan Gibbs-White scored an additional goal in the 17th minute of the second half.

In the middle of the second half, strikers such as Xavi Simmons and Randal Kolo Muani were deployed to fight back, but they were completely defeated in the 42nd minute of the second half by Taiwo Awoniyi.

Tottenham have not won a single league this year. Following Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor took over as a temporary baton, but he is suffering from an extreme slump, taking only one point in five games since taking office.

To make matters worse, Tudor missed the press conference shortly after the match against Nottingham, citing "personal family circumstances." Instead, head coach Bruno Saltor, who grabbed the microphone, said on "Sky Sports" in England, "It's heartbreaking and really painful. The players are also doing their best 100%, but that's not enough for now," he said.

"Tottenham should be afraid that their EPL history may be over soon," England's "The Sun" pointed out. "There is a greater difficulty ahead of Tottenham," warned Michael Dawson from Tottenham.
