Tottenham's form has dipped, and it was no surprise that they were held to a draw by Wolves. Not long after the start of the match, Wolves scored from a set-piece, with Hwang Hee-chan unleashing his signature curved shot to put Tottenham 1-0 down. Tottenham quickly equalized with Bentancur's header to make it 1-1. Then, Son Heung-min missed a penalty opportunity, which was really heart-wrenching. Next, Kulusevski provided the cross for Johnson to head in and give Tottenham a 2-1 lead, making it seem like they would secure the victory. However, in the dying moments, Wolves' Larsson pulled off a stunning move, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Tottenham currently have 24 points and are in 11th place, with a 7-point gap from the European competition spots.
Nottingham Forest emerged this season and continued their impressive performance, securing another away win against Everton to maintain their five-match winning streak. Shortly after the start, Wood received an assist from Ilanga to break the Everton defense, putting Nottingham Forest ahead 1-0. At halftime, the score remained unchanged.
