The match served as a critical 'final' to avoid the Premier League drop for both teams.

The hosts dominated possession early, hitting the woodwork twice through Igor Jesus' own goal against the crossbar.

Mathys Tel's long-range effort also struck the woodwork as Spurs spent most of the first half on top.

Brazilian striker Igor Jesus headed home Neco Williams' corner in first-half stoppage time.

Morgan Gibbs-White's shot squirmed through goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in the 62nd minute.

Substitute Taiwo Awoniyi sealed the victory with a late header in the 87th minute.

The result left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium largely empty as supporters departed early.

Home fans erupted in furious jeers at the final whistle despite the visitors' decisive performance.

Igor Tudor's position as Tottenham manager came under severe scrutiny following the defeat.

The Croatian coach faces intense pressure despite being appointed just over a month ago.

Tudor has lost five of his seven games in charge since taking over in February.

He has earned only one point from five league matches since his appointment.

The defeat marked a significant setback for Tudor despite his positive short-term record at previous clubs.

His future at the club was left in doubt as the team's poor performances continued.

The defeat raised serious questions about his ability to save Tottenham from relegation.

Tudor did not undertake the usual post-match duties after family bereavement news.

The defeat leaves Tottenham in a precarious position in the Premier League table.

“Tottenham's fears of Premier League relegation were heightened following a dismal 3-0 home defeat to rivals Nottingham Forest on Sunday”

The north London side is just one point above the relegation zone.

Nottingham Forest moved to 16th place with 32 points after their first win in two months.

Tottenham dropped to 17th with 30 points following the heavy defeat.

West Ham United remain in 18th place with 29 points, just one point behind Spurs.

The result heightens pressure on Tottenham to secure points in remaining matches.

Seven games are left in the season to avoid what could be a catastrophic drop to Championship.

The league's bottom three are now separated by just three points.

Tottenham executives face a difficult decision regarding their managerial situation.

They may sack Igor Tudor just over a month after his appointment.

The decision involves chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange.

They must choose between another interim head coach or a permanent candidate.

Several names mentioned as replacements: Sean Dyche, Ryan Mason, and Harry Redknapp.

The situation raises internal questions about Tudor's appointment timing.

Questions arise about why he was given the job after sacking Postecoglou and Frank.

Club's owners Enic have no intention of intervening in the decision.

Tottenham's current struggles have historical significance in the club's Premier League history.

“Their attack led by Harry Kane is often their best asset, but the defense is lacking, leaving too many opportunities for opponents”

The club has won just 30 points from 31 Premier League games this season.

This equals their joint-lowest return after 31 games, matching the disastrous 1914-15 season.

The team is winless in their past 13 league matches (D5 L8).

This equals the second longest winless league run in their history dating back to 1912.

The record stands at 16 games without a win in the 1934-35 season.

Tottenham must avoid setting a new unwanted record to have any chance of survival.

These statistics underscore the severity of the crisis under Tudor's management.

Fan reaction to the defeat has been overwhelmingly negative.

Supporters expressed frustration through boos and jeers during and after the match.

Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy told Match of the Day that Tudor's position is 'impossible'.

Murphy believes it's impossible for Tudor to stay given the toxic environment at the club.

He stated players don't look like they're at it, with confidence remaining low.

Murphy suggested changing the manager might be the only way to turn things around.

He noted a new manager could get one win and quickly change the team's fortunes.

Assistant coach Bruno Saltor indicated Tudor will get time until next match against Sunderland.
