Tottenham Hotspur 0-3 Nottingham Forest: Tricky Trees triumph as Spurs wilt again

Misery knows no bounds at Tottenham Hotspur, with a new chapter added to the miserable nightmare that is their 2025-26 Premier League season on Sunday: a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in what was meant to be the club's rallying point to stave off relegation.

WATCH β€” Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest full match replay

Thousands of Spurs fans organized themselves to greet the team bus on arrival in a show of full-throated support, putting aside weeksmonths years of the downward spiral that led to this pivotal moment, and for almost 45 minutes, there were even a few encouraging signs on the field. Then, Forest forward Igor Jesus planted a perfect header into the side netting from a corner kick in the 45th minute and that was, effectively, the end of all hope. Heads dropped

Morgan Gibbs-White, who famously almost joined Spurs in the summer before doing a sharp about-face in the 11th hour, added Forest's second goal in the 62nd minute. This, after Eberechi Eze, who also came within hours of signing for Spurs last summer, instead scored five goals in two games against them for rivals Arsenal. Eze has scored six goals in the PL all season. Just one of a many microcosm to sum up Spurs' season.

Taiwo Awoniyi finished the scoring in the 87th minute when he slid in at the back post and turned home Neco Williams' cross.

Spurs (30 points) are without a win in their last 13 PL games and haven't won a single game in the league in 2026. They are now just one point and one place above the relegation zone. Nottingham Forest (32 points) were fantastic on the day, given they found themselves in the exact same situation as Spurs and had one less day to prepare after playing in Denmark on Thursday. The Tricky Trees aren't yet safe, but a first PL win under Vitor Pereira has done much to steady the ship ahead of this weekend's international break.

What’s next?

  • Porto vs Nottingham Forest β€” Thursday, April 9, 3 pm ET (Europa League)
  • Sunderland vs Tottenham Hotspur β€” Sunday, April 12, 9 am ET

Spurs return to the pitch after a midweek Champions League scrap with Atletico Madrid that ended their European dreams, while Forest needed penalties to advance past Midtjylland in the Europa League. Both teams drew their last Premier League match β€” as did the other five teams in the bottom seven of the table β€” and Spurs are just one point clear of 18th-place West Ham while Forest are only out of the bottom three on goal differential.

So, yes, this is a huge. A winner will find some rare comfort on the table for the international break while a loser could find themselves in a relegation place for a couple of weeks depending on West Ham's visit to Aston Villa kicking off at the same time.

It's difficult to project this game given all of the injuries and the midweek action. Spurs were in Madrid on Tuesday. Forest were in Denmark on Thursday. The pressure is enormous and that can make the home pitch more of a variable. Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Nottingham Forest.

Aston Villa vs West Ham preview

Nuno Espirito Santo's Irons are in the bottom three on goal differential behind Nottingham Forest, and they're a point back of Spurs and three behind Leeds United. Their 4W-3D-2L record since January 17 is solid but unfortunately includes one more win than they collected in the 21 games before that run.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa's wild season is on a European uptick as they've advanced to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. Yet their Premier League season β€” once chock full of title dreams β€” has been poor.

Unai Emery's men have lost three-straight Premier League games and have a single PL win since the start of February as they sit fourth on the table and could easily tumble out of the European qualification picture if they fail to right the ship.

Will Aston Villa be able to quickly regroup after a solid, emotional win at home to Lille on Thursday? That'll be key because West Ham have been solid, desperate, and a bit ornery, ready to go from the kick. The home ground should help a bit and maybe even tip the scales. Aston Villa 2-1 West Ham.

Liam Rosenior reaction to Chelsea's defensive circus, Sanchez errors in blowout loss at Everton

Liam Rosenior's disappointment was written all over his face through Chelsea's 3-0 loss to Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.

MORE β€” Everton v Chelsea recap, video highlights

The Blues made huge errors at the back as goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was very poor, the center backs weren't much better, and Everton forward Beto dominated the game.

Beto nearly made the most of a very early Sanchez error which was a harbinger of what was to come as the Bissau-Guinean scored twice and won an aerial that Iliman Ndiaye turned into the Toffees' third goal.

It was so poor from the Blues, who were without Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah for the first time and the yield was not fruitful.

We'll share all of Rosenior's words as soon as he speaks from Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton 3-0 Chelsea: Toffees feast on Blues blundering backs, keeper

Beto and Everton feasted on error-prone Chelsea on Saturday, inflicting an embarrassing 3-0 defeat on the Blues at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.

The Bissau-Guinean scored twice and won a huge header that led to Iliman Ndiaye's goal as Everton hit 46 points to slide into seventh place, just two back of sixth-place Chelsea.

WATCH β€” Everton v Chelsea full match replay

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez struggled with the ball at his feet and between his legs, while the side did not adjust well to the absences of newly-injured Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah.

The loss is Chelsea's fourth-straight across all competitions, with a pair of Champions League defeats to PSG joining a PL loss at home to Newcastle. Their last goal was in the first loss to PSG, running their goalless streak to 303 minutes.

More to come...

What’s next?

Another big European six-pointer awaits Everton after the international break, as they'll visit Brentford at 10am ET on April 11.

Chelsea can try to work out their kinks at home to Port Vale in an FA Cup quarterfinal on April 4 before returning to the Premier League at home to Manchester City on April 12.


Everton vs Chelsea final score: 3-0

Beto 33', 62', Iliman Ndiaye 76'


Everton vs Chelsea live updates β€” by Nick Mendola

Full time β€” Everton 3-0 Chelsea

Rosenior's efforts to shore up his beleagured back line did not go well, and his goalkeeper didn't help things.

Iliman Ndiaye goal β€” Everton 3-0 Chelsea

Chelsea undone again.

Rosenior looks furious as Beto wins a Jordan Pickford goal kick backward in front of Wesley Fofana.

Moises Caicedo can't keep Iliman Ndiaye from the spoils and a gorgeous arrow into the upper reaches of the far side-netting.

Beto goal (and Sanchez error) β€” Everton 2-0 Chelsea

Not really debatable at this point: Robert Sanchez has no confidence.

Idrissa Gana Gueye seizes a ball out of the air and leads an Everton counter attack.

The Toffees get into the box and Gana Gueye feeds Beto, who wheels and rips a hopeful shot toward Sanchez.

The keeper fails to keep it from going through his legs and it's 2-0.

Ambitious from Enzo

Fernandez tries a curler across goal toward the far post and Joao Pedro is trying to redirect it inside the post.

It might've just missed wide but Jordan Pickford flies to his left anyway to palm it out for a corner..

Sub at the break

Alejandro Garnacho replaces Malo Gusto, who landed awkwardly in the first half.

Moises Caicedo should drop to right back with Enzo Fernandez playing deeper next to Romeo Lavia as Chelsea chase an equalizer.

Halftime β€” Everton 1-0 Chelsea

Chelsea are leading in shots by more than double (9-4) and have about 60% of the ball.

But it's not great at the back and Liam Rosenior may make a switch there as the Blues have not adjusted well to the absences of Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah.

Chelsea nearly answer

Jordan Pickford (arguably) makes an error going for a corner kick and the ball bounds back to Enzo Fernandez.

The Argentine chops a hard volley toward goal but Pickford recovers to his right to make an excellent leaping save.

Beto goal β€” Everton 1-0 Chelsea

Creak, creak, creak, snap.

James Garner plays Beto in behind Wesley Fofana.

The Blues back is nipping at Beto's heels and hoping Sanchez can close down the center forward.

Beto sees Sanchez lean to his right and that's the invitation he requires to dink it the other way.

Chelsea a mess at the back

Mistakes and open spaces from the Blues (wearing white, against the Toffees, who are in blue (naturally)).

James Garner has a shot blocked from 14 yards and Everton have grown in confidence.

0-0, 15'.

Robert Sanchez plays into his reputation

Just awful from the Chelsea goalkeeper.

Robert Sanchez takes a back pass and then a heavy touch. He sees Beto coming and somehow decides to dribble out of it.

Beto takes the ball off of him but Moises Caicedo zips back to put out the fire.

With Filip Jorgensen injured, Chelsea only have 22-year-old Teddy Sharman-Lowe on the bench. Sharman-Lowe has been in a starter in loan stints with Doncaster Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, and Havant & Waterlooville.

Team news evaluated

Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah is out for a month or more, and Jorell Hato is heading inside to partner with Wesley Fofana. Reece James is out for a few weeks so Malo Gusto starts at right back. Pedro Neto is back, so Alejandro Garnacho heads to the bench.

Everton will start Beto up top over Thierno Barry.. Jarrad Branthwaite hasn't passed his fitness test, while Timothy Iroegbunam doesn't start for the Toffees.

Everton lineup

Pickford, O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Gana Gueye, Garner, McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Beto

Everton vs Chelsea preview β€” by Joe Prince-Wright

David Moyes’ Everton lost 2-0 at Arsenal last weekend but they were right in the game until late on and missed several glorious chances to take the lead. The Toffees are in the hunt for European qualification and are really fun to watch.

Chelsea are reeling as they lost 1-0 at home to Newcastle last weekend and were hammered 8-2 on aggregate by PSG in the UEFA Champions League last 16 after a 3-0 beating in the second leg at home in midweek. Rosenior is under pressure already and Chelsea have to improve defensively if they're going to finish in the top four this season.

Everton team news, focus

Center back duo Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski are both doubts after missing the defeat at Arsenal last weekend. That means Michael Keane and Jake O'Brien could continue there. Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are a real handful in attack and will look to hit Chelsea on the counter.

Chelsea team news, focus

Reece James and Filip Jorgensen are the latest Chelsea players to suffer injuries, with Malo Gusto and Benoit Badiashile also doubts. Trevoh Chalobah is out as Rosenior has a real headache in central defense. Given the huge defeat they suffered to PSG, Chelsea will be lacking in confidence and will know they are vulnerable defensively on the break.

Everton vs Chelsea prediction

This feels like a game where Everton will make the most of a fragile Chelsea side. Especially on the counter. Everton 2-1 Chelsea.

Brighton vs Liverpool score: 1-0

Welbeck 14'

Brighton vs Liverpool live updates! β€” By Joe Prince-Wright

Gakpo is in, but can’t make the most of it

Straight away Liverpool have a chance to equalize as Cody Gakpo is in over the top but Mats Wieffer does just enough to put him off and Gakpo can't sort his feet out.

Welbeck heads home!

Totally against the run of play, Brighton take an early lead at the Amex! A hopeful cross from the left is nodded back across goal superbly by Diego Gomez and Welbeck is on hand to head home. Liverpool want a foul for a push on Ibrahima Konate but the goal stands. Slot isn't happy with that. Welbeck did have two hands in the back of Konate but was that enough for a foul.

Jones is on as Ekitike can’t continue

He looks really upset Ekitike, as he can't continue. Curtis Jones is on to replace him and this is a big blow for Slot, who is already missing Mohamed Salah and Alisson to recent injuries. Jones has gone in to midfield and Gakpo is up top with Wirtz on the left.

Ekitike down with an impact injury

After just a few minutes Hugo Ekitike is limping around badly. He collided accidentally with James Milner in the center of the pitch and it looks like he has a bit of a dead leg. He's trying to get going again and is back on the pitch, but he is not moving freely.

Kick off delayed due to traffic accident

The kick off has been pushed back 15 minutes due to a traffic accident on a nearby road.

Kick-off has been delayed by 15 minutes due to a road traffic accident on the A27.

β€” Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) March 21, 2026

Brighton lineup

Verbruggen; Wieffer, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu; Milner, Gross; Gomez, Hinshelwood, Minteh; Welbeck

Liverpool lineup

Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike

Brighton team news, focus

Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster remain out, while Kaoru Mitoma is a doubt. It's no coincidence that Brighton's upturn in results has coincided with injuries calming down and Hurzeler has found a better balance in the team with James Milner and Pascal Gross locking things down in central midfield.

Liverpool team news, focus

Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Wataru Endo all remain out and Slot has a very clear starting lineup now. Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai will support Hugo Ekitike, with Mohamed Salah ruled out of this game through injury. Alisson Becker was a last-minute addition to the injury last, and Giorgi Mamardashvili will start between the posts.

Brighton vs Liverpool preview

The Seagulls have picked up in recent weeks with Fabian Hurzeler's side winning three of their last four games as a huge improvement in their defensive performances has seen them concede just twice in that run. They picked up a big win at Sunderland last weekend to underline their newfound defensive prowess. After a midseason wobble, they are right in the hunt for a European spot.

Liverpool have been dropping points in their quest to qualify for the Champions League and they were frustrated at home last Sunday as they drew 1-1 with Spurs and Arne Slot was booed. But they did hammer Galatasaray 4-0 on Wednesday to seal their spot in the last eight of the Champions League, where they will meet PSG. Liverpool are also in the FA Cup quarterfinals, where they head to Man City, after they beat Brighton a few weeks ago at Anfield in the FA Cup. Slot could still win two trophies and lead Liverpool to Champions League qualification this season, so all is not lost.

Brighton vs Liverpool prediction

This feels like a game which could catch Liverpool out given their exertions in midweek to get past Galatasaray and that Brighton are in very good form. Brighton 2-1 Liverpool.

Hugo Ekitike injury news: Latest update as Liverpool star forced off vs Brighton

Liverpool fans will be sweating on the latest Hugo Ekitike injury news as their star forward was forced off at Brighton on Saturday.

LIVE β€” Brighton v Liverpool

Ekitike was hugely upset as he was subbed off just a few minutes into their trip to Brighton.

After a couple of minutes he collided with James Milner in the center of the pitch in a pretty innocuous way.

But Ekitike remained on the ground and replays showed hefty contact was made on his right thigh. Ekitike pounded the ground in frustration and after getting treatment he came back on but he couldn't shake it off and was replaced by Curtis Jones.

We will have the latest Hugo Ekitike injury news from Arne Slot after the game at Brighton, as Liverpool fans will be hoping it was just a dead leg the French international couldn't run off.
