Tottenham Hotspur failed to have a shot on target in a Premier League match for the first time since April 2022 against Brentford under Antonio Conte. Tottenham Hotspur have failed to score in three successive Premier League games for the first time since November 2021, while it is the first time a Roberto De Zerbi side has failed to do so in Europe's big five leagues since Brighton and Hove Albion in January 2024.
