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 host back into the contest.

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.
