Spurs dropped to 17th after 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest

‘The most important thing is to understand the situation’

Cristian Romero has promised to put 200% into Tottenham’s seven remaining “finals” to avoid a seismic Premier League exit.

Spurs’ survival hopes took a significant hit after a demoralising 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, dropping them to 17th and increasing the possibility of a first relegation since 1977. Tottenham’s winless league run stands at 13 matches and despite fans flooding the streets in N17 to give the team bus a raucous welcome, the pre-match optimism was replaced with a sense of inevitability after another abject defeat.

“It’s a difficult day for everyone, but the first thing is to speak about the fans. Thank you for today and always staying with us,” Romero said. “They gave us fantastic support, but about us, it’s a bad day. Now it is finished and the most important thing is to understand the situation.
