Nottingham won 2-1 in the away match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season against Tottenham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 22nd (Korea time). It is the first time in 28 years that Nottingham has achieved a double against Tottenham since the 1996-1997 season. With the victory, Nottingham jumped to third place with 60 points. It is becoming a reality to advance to the European Champions League.
Nottingham had only 30% of the ball against Tottenham on the day. The number of shots was 4 to 22, which was an absolute inferiority. Nevertheless, he won the game. Nottingham scored the first goal in the fifth minute of the first half with a mid-range shot from Elliott Anderson when Pedro Porro kicked a corner kick from Antony Elanga with his head. Anderson's shot deflected off Rodrigo Bentancur's body and was sucked into the net.
Nottingham, which gained momentum, widened the score in the 16th minute of the first half with Chris Wood connecting the ball from the left by Elanga. Nottingham allowed a goal in the 42nd minute of the second half with a header goal from Hishalisson, who received a prisoner's cross, but did not lose focus until the end to win.
Nottingham has an average share of 39.3% this season. It is the lowest among the 20 clubs. It is also lower than Everton at 39.8% and Ipswich at 39.9%. If Nottingham succeeds in advancing to the European Champions League with a 39.3% share, it will be in the top four with the lowest share after the official tally of the share is made, the bbc reported on the 22nd. Leicester City in the 2015-2016 season and Everton in the 2004-2005 season are the only top four teams with less than 50% share. Leicester City had a 42.4% share and Everton had a 48.5% share. The two teams also had less than 50% of the share, but Nottingham is aiming for the top four with less than 40% at all.
Of course, market share is not everything. It doesn't mean it's a low-quality soccer because it has a low market share. Nottingham make a quick counterattack after taking the ball from the front. Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi have scored the same goals as Altoran with tactics that maximize the speed. Not to mention defense. Nottingham are creating a win with a solid defence after scoring a minimal attacking chance. Nottingham is the team that scored the most first goals this season.
Football commentator turned football commentator Jamie Carragher once said, "Other teams may be critical of just taking the plunge, but Nottingham is intent on such football and has confidence in it as well," he praised.
