The match's only notable chance arrived in the fifth minute when Jan Paul van Hecke's free-kick was neatly volleyed wide by Andy Robertson.

Additionally, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris squandered a chance to concede a goal by allowing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to capitalize on a sloppy pass in the 65th minute. Currently sitting 17th in the standings, one point shy of the relegation zone, Tottenham's poor start has raised concerns following their significant summer transfer investment of £302 million. Although they did secure a 17th-place finish in the previous season, their league performance has been their worst since 2008-09. Throughout the game, Spurs' attacking players displayed a lack of confidence, often choosing to pass rather than shoot in favorable situations.",
