A cold and foggy night at the City Ground saw Tottenham edged out by Nottingham Forest 1-0.
Spurs started the match by looking lively, but they couldn’t sustain their tempo, which eventually led to Morgan Gibbs-White finding Anthony Elanga to give the Reds a goal and lead them into half-time 1-0 up.
The second half wasn't much better for Spurs as nothing seemed to work for the Lilywhites and Forest were closing them down at every opportunity.
A late red card from Djed Spence sealed Tottenham's fate and they lost the match narrowly 1-0.
Here are the Tottenham player ratings.
Tottenham Player Ratings
Fraser Forster - 6/10
Forster has been in the spotlight recently for his subpar performances but he was strong in net during the match.
A much better passing game from him and a few good saves kept Forest from running away with the game.
Djed Spence - 3/10
Ange Postecoglou started Djed Spence yet again but the right-back had a game to forget.
A silly mistake in the 94th minute saw him see red after a second bookable offence, one that will cost Spurs, especially with the side's defensive struggles currently,
Radu Dragusin - 4/10
The summer signing seems to have struggled in the Spurs defence this season, and he struggled again today.
A yellow card and some nervy moments, it was another struggle game for Radu Dragusin,
Dragusin also picked up an unfortunate injury near to the end of the match, one that will not help Spurs' issues in defence.
Archie Gray - 5/10
Archie Gray was played out of position yet again with Spurs' lack of central defenders, but the 18-year-old had a decent game.
Solid playing it out of the back, and he did what he needed to do when called upon to defend.
Destiny Udogie - 4/10
Destiny Udogie returned to the starting 11 but just couldn't get up to the speed of the game.
He looked physically off of it during the game and was partially to blame for Forest's opener.
Rodrigo Bentancur - 5/10
Rodrigo Bentancur was straight back into the starting line-up after returning from his seven-game suspension but was not at his best in the game.
Playing in the number 6 role saw the Uruguayan often swamped by Forest’s midfield, Spurs look like they needed a proper number 6.
Pape Matar Sarr - 5/10
Pape Matar Sarr had his moments in the match but seemed to be overrun in midfield quite a few times.
Sarr was also caught out for Forest’s first-half goal. Not the best of days for the Senegalese man.
Dejan Kulusevski - 6/10
Arguably Spurs' best player in the match and the one who looked the most like they wanted to win.
Dejan Kulusevski stood out again in midfield. Nothing paid off unfortunately, but he still put on a show in the centre of the pitch.
Brennan Johnson - 6/10
The former Forest man returned to the City Ground with a solid performance.
Brennan Johnson played with flare on the right wing, but nothing seemed to pay off for him.
Heung-Min Son - 4/10
A poor game by the captain's standards, nothing seemed to work for Heung-Min Son during the game.
His final ball let down a fair few attacks, a day to forget for the South Korean.
Dominic Solanke - 6/10
Dominic Solanke had a hard time picking up the ball but did his job well when he had the ball at his feet.
Not much could be done during the game with a lack of service, but a hard worker nonetheless.
Substitutes
James Maddison - 6/10
Some argue that James Maddison should've started the game, and he showed why people were arguing that point.
A lively cameo from him, running all over the park to win the ball back and having a few efforts blocked, a good substitution.
Lucas Bergvall - 5/10
Coming on alongside Maddison, Bergvall also played well in midfield.
He wasn't called upon much but was there when needed.
Pedro Porro - 5/10
Only a 10-minute cameo from Pedro Porro with not much to do.
Looked sharp when he had the ball however.
Timo Werner - 5/10
A solid cameo for Timo Werner coming on alongside Porro.
A few balls into the box that were testing the Forest defence, but nothing that ended in a big chance.
Yves Bissouma - 5/10
Coming on for the injured Dragusin, Yves Bissouma was thrown into the centre-back position.
Hard to comment on his game, only a few minutes into the match, but Spurs' defensive problems are now at an all-time high.
