Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi says wrong decisions cost his side after a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest, leaving Spurs without a goal in their first three Premier League matches for the first time since 1974. Despite registering their first point of the season, Spurs failed to muster a shot on goal at the City Ground. De Zerbi acknowledged missed chances, citing Omar Marmoush's shot, Andy Robertson's overlap, and Mohammed Kudus' potential finish, as well as crosses from Mathys Tel and Sávio that went over the second post.

He emphasized the need for better decision-making and calmness in the final third, insisting the team is building correctly despite the summer spend of almost £400 million ($540.8m). Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner accused VAR of 'guessing' after disallowing Neco Williams' goal for handball, calling the intervention inconsistent with the season's high threshold directive. Glasner believed Williams was fouled by Mo Kudus and said the referee should have stuck with the on-field decision.

The match ended 0-0, with Spurs earning their first point but continuing their winless start.
