Tottenham were held to a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest on Saturday as their difficult start to the Premier League season continued.
Spurs spent heavily in the summer transfer window in a desperate effort to avoid the embarrassment of the past two seasons, in which they have finished 17th both times.
They travelled to the City Ground, after defeats to Brentford and Newcastle, to face a team which twice beat them heavily last season, and still searching for their first Premier League goal of the new campaign.
Forest had the ball in the net midway through the second half after calamitous defending but Neco Williams's strike was ruled out following a VAR check.
The result means that Forest, who, like Spurs, flirted with relegation last season, are also still searching for their first win.
Ukrainian forward Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined Tottenham on loan this week, was introduced as a substitute in the 74th minute for his first competitive action since November 2024 following a doping ban.
Vitaly Janelt opened the scoring for high-flying Brentford against Sunderland but Enzo Le Fee levelled from the penalty spot late in the game to force a 1-1 draw.
Leeds drew 1-1 at Brighton while Tyrick Mitchell scored two goals as Crystal Palace twice came from behind to earn a 3-2 win at Fulham, with Ben Chilwell scoring the winner.
In the early kick-off, Newcastle recovered from going 2-0 down to secure a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, staying unbeaten in all competitions under new manager Matthias Jaissle.
On Friday, Andoni Iraola's Liverpool beat Ipswich 2-0 to claim their first win of the season.
