TOTTENHAM fans have been left fuming on social media after a defensive disaster allowed Morgan Gibbs-White to score almost unchallenged in their clash with Nottingham Forest.
Replay footage shows a shocking lack of defensive organisation, with eight Spurs players failing to mark Gibbs-White, leaving the Forest midfielder free to slot home with ease.

Supporters were quick to voice their frustration online, flooding X with criticism of Tottenham’s backline.
“Unbelievable. Eight players and he’s completely free? Are they even trying?” one fan tweeted.
Another added: “Tottenham defending is a joke. Gibbs-White didn’t even have to look up before scoring!”
The goal highlighted ongoing concerns over Spurs’ defensive structure, with manager Antonio Conte now under pressure to tighten his backline ahead of upcoming fixtures.
Tottenham had looked competitive in patches, but defensive lapses like this threaten to undo their efforts in crucial matches.
