Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has insisted his team will score plenty of goals after failing to find the net in their goalless draw with Nottingham Forest.

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/de-zerbi-roberto/pYizckpN/"]De Zerbi[/a]’s side are alongside [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/aston-villa/W00wmLO0/"]Aston Villa[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/coventry/GOvB22xg/"]Coventry[/a] in not scoring a single goal in their opening three Premier League games of the season.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tottenham/UDg08Ohm/"]Spurs[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/nottingham/UsushcZr/"]Forest[/a] played out a drab 0-0 draw at the City Ground, leaving the London side down in 17th, the position they’ve ended the past two seasons in. To make matters worse, Spurs didn't have a single shot on target against Forest.[/p][p]The unwanted stats don’t end there. This marks the first time since 1974 that Tottenham have failed to score in their first three league games.[/p][p]Despite all that, De Zerbi still believes his side have the ability to score ‘many goals’.[/p][embed guid="2226695e-ac42-4a89-890a-48905d9181d8" url="https://x.com/SpursOfficial/status/2096284860948083194" social-type="twitter" /][p][b]"In terms of performance, I am very, very proud.

The human level of the dressing room is great; now we have to work and improve at all levels of football.[/b][/p][p][b]"Our mood is to win, to win, to win.
