Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario endured a torrid afternoon at the City Ground as Tottenham suffered a 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
, Vicario had another disappointing game as his side missed out on the chance to secure a third straight win in all competitions for the first time under Thomas Frank.
From the off Spurs struggled to cope with Nottingham Forest's intensity. They were inches from the lead inside five minutes as Nicolo Savona's cross picked out the arriving Ibrahim Sangare, but the midfielder's header thumped the foot of the post as the visitors survived.
Tottenham's undoing came through their own doing. Vicario's pass into Archie Gray, who was facing his own goal on the edge of his box, was a poor one, which didn't give his young team-mate much chance. Sangare nipped in and nicked it off the Spurs youngster before flicks the ball away from Vicario for Callum Hudson-Odoi to tap into an empty net.
Vicario's day didn't get any better after the break.
Hudson-Odoi's did, however, but the winger did not meant to find the back of the net with his attempted cross. Vicario misjudged the flight of the ball and it looped over the goalkeeper and into the far corner for the wforward's second goal of the afternoon.
Frank had seen enough and made a triple change as Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, Palhinha replaced Djed Spence, Gray, Rodrigo Bentancur, but the desired change didn;t come for Spurs.
It was Forest who finished with a flourish as Sangare unleashed a stunning trike, which swerved away from Vicario and in off the inisde of the post as Sean Dyche's side moved five points clear of the relegation places.
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank to Your Site:
"It's hugely disappointing. Burning annoying performance today.
"That was a bad performance. Especially first half. Overall, especially after the 1-0 goal, looked disjointed. And after the second goal, looked disjointed after that.
"Didn't win enough duels. Then we couldn't hit each other - it seems like we gave the ball away every single time we won it back throughout the game.
"The two first goals are mistakes. That happens. We need to show resilience and come back from that, then keep doing the right thing, keep doing it. That's definitely a sign that's a working theme we need to constantly work on to be more consistent.
"It's two steps forward and a step back today."
Former Forest and Tottenham winger Andy Reid on Your Site:
"It was a worrying performance from Spurs.
"There were just starting to be some signs of a recovery with Thomas Frank looking like he was starting to impress himself on the club and this team.
"But they have turned in a performance like this where they haven't got going and not shown any desire. The body language didn't look good at all.
"Nottingham Forest have ran over the top of them and played better than them in every area of the game. Man for man, they were fitter and they have been better all over the pitch.
"Spurs got what they deserved from the game, which was nothing."
Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche to Your Site:
"The boys were outstanding from start to finish.
"Our shape was good, our pressing was good, recovery lines... so much we see as managers and coaches. And then the good stuff looked after itself. We know we've got talented players here, who want the freedom to play. But we need the framework to be right and it was today without a doubt.
"In your mind's eye, when you take over, that's where you want to get to.
"They're looking fitter, stronger - the way I like players fit - also showed some quality.
"Run, run and then we run again. It's not rocket science. Get players fit, in my world. Shape, organisation. Because if they've got talent, which I believe these have, it's building on the basics."
Nottingham Forest goalscorer Callum Hudson-Odoi to Your Site:
"Our mentality from the start was go, go, go, 100 per cent. From start to finish every single person was working their socks off. You can tell we wanted it.
"Today was an outstanding performance from start to finish."
"You can see the connections are building more and more. We're improving every time we step out onto the pitch. We're enjoying our football."
