Tottenham’s fears of Premier League relegation were heightened following a dismal 3-0 home defeat to rivals Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Spurs’ fans lined the streets to welcome Igor Tudor’s side to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of a titanic tussle between two out-of-form teams, but another shambolic display left the Croatian’s future in severe doubt going into the international break.

Spurs spent almost the entire first half on top, hitting the woodwork twice, with the first of those incidents seeing Igor Jesus nod Kevin Danso’s long throw against his own crossbar.

But Jesus then found the net at the other end in the 45th minute, heading Neco Williams’ deep corner beyond Guglielmo Vicario from close range.

Matz Sels’ woodwork was shaking again when the Forest goalkeeper pushed Mathys Tel’s long-range curler onto the crossbar in first-half stoppage time, but things got even worse for the hosts after the interval.

Vicario somehow allowed Morgan Gibbs-White’s finish to squirm straight through him in the 62nd minute, following good work from Callum Hudson-Odoi, before Lucas Bergvall wasted a great chance to get the hosts back into the contest.

And the home fans were stunned into silence again in the 87th minute, when Williams’ searching cross was turned home by substitute Taiwo Awoniyi, but they erupted in a furious bout of jeers at the full-time whistle.

The result leaves Forest three points above 18th-placed West Ham, while Spurs are only one clear of danger and seemingly have a decision to make over Tudor’s future.

30 – Tottenham have won just 30 points from 31 Premier League games this season – accounting for 3pts/win all-time, this is their joint-lowest return after 31 games of a league campaign, along with 1914-15 (30). Severity. pic.twitter.com/f0fylOervy

Data Debrief: All-time low for Spurs?

Spurs have just 30 points on the board after 31 games of the Premier League season.

Accounting for three points for a win all-time, this is the joint-worst campaign in their league history, having had the same record at this stage of the 1914-15 season – when they were relegated to the second tier.

Spurs’ winless run in the Premier League now stands at 13 games (five draws, eight defeats), equalling the second-worst run in their league history (also 13 in November 1912).

They have only ever endured a longer drought between December 1934 and April 1935 (16), and they were also relegated from the top flight at the end of that campaign.

Across spells with Juventus and Tottenham, Tudor has not won any of his last 10 league matches as manager (four draws, six defeats) – the longest run of his career, and it remains to be seen whether he will be in the dugout when Spurs visit Sunderland on April 12.
