Tottenham Hotspur played to a 0-0 draw against Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 12, 2026, extending their scoreless streak in the Premier League to 407 minutes. This marks the first time the club has failed to score in its opening four league matches across all four tiers of English football since September 2006. Despite spending over £300 million on new signings during the summer, head coach Roberto de Zerbi's side struggled to generate attacking pressure and managed their first shot on target in the 46th minute. Supporters jeered the players at the final whistle, mirroring an atmosphere of frustration that has persisted throughout the club's early-season struggles. Meanwhile, forward Richarlison remained excluded from the squad as he continues to dispute his contract status with the club following a collapsed transfer attempt. De Zerbi apologized to fans following the result as his side continues to adjust to a new tactical approach.
