Tottenham Hotspur lost two consecutive games as Son Heung-min remained silent. It was pushed out of the top 10 after being avenged by its former coach Nunu Espiritu Santo.

Tottenham lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest in the 18th round of the Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at The City Ground in Nottingham, England on the 27th (Korea time).

Tottenham, which gave Antony Elanga the winning goal, lost two consecutive games without scoring. Son Heung-min struggled as a starter, but he left a regret as he remained silent.

After losing to Nottingham following its 3-6 defeat against Liverpool, Tottenham now ranks 11th (7 wins, 2 draws, 9 losses, 23 points). On the contrary, Nottingham has achieved a whopping four-game winning streak to rise to the third place (10 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, 34 points). It has narrowed the gap with Chelsea (35 points) to just one point.

Nottingham was a 4-2-3-1 team. Matz Sells, the goalkeeper, wore gloves, and Aryna Murillo Nikola Milenkovic and Nico Williams built the defense. Rayan Yates and Elliot Anderson protected the defense for the third term. Antony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood were on the front line for the second term.

The away team Tottenham faced off in the same way. In addition to goalkeeper Fraser Forster, Jed Spence, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray, and Destiny Udogi formed defense. Pape Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur returned from disciplinary action in the third term. Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min, and Dominic Solanki were at the forefront to score at the second term.

Early in the first half, Son had a chance. During counterattack, Son advanced to the front of the box and attempted to shoot. However, he was caught by the goalkeeper as he was beaten weakly.

Nottingham aimed for a quick turnaround. In the 10th minute of the first half, Odoi attempted a left-footed shot in a counterattack, opening the door for the first time.

In the 23rd minute, Tottenham's attack accuracy fell and he lost his chance. Two minutes later, he succeeded in advancing into the box and Johnson tried to shoot from the right, but was blocked by Cells.

Immediately, Nottingham's counterattack went ahead. After Wood defended from the front, Elanga's shot came out, but it went over the crossbar slightly.

In the 28th minute, Nottingham's counterattack unfolded again. Elanga, who narrowed down from the right to the center, did not miss Gibbs White's penetration pass and connected with a shot to shake the net. Once again, the thin Tottenham defense's bare face was revealed.

Tottenham didn't stop fighting back. Johnson connected Kulusevski's pass from the right side with a non-stop shot with his right foot in the 38th minute, and Sels made a super save. 메이저놀이터

In the 45th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min handled the free kick in front of the box with his right foot, but he swallowed the disappointment as he shook the side net.

The first half ended as it was.
