Tottenham struggles with scoring in early Premier League matches

Tottenham Hotspur has failed to score in their first four matches of the 2026/27 Premier League season, collecting just two points so far. They narrowly avoided the record for the longest goal drought at the start of a season, set by Crystal Palace in 2017/18. After scoring twice in a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, Tottenham ended a run of 492 minutes without a goal, last finding the net in the previous season. Meanwhile, Coventry City also went four games without scoring before netting against Nottingham Forest on September 19, 2026. Tottenham's performance has raised concerns about their attacking strategy under manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is expected to improve their goal production moving forward.
