The first victory is too hard. Nottingham coach Enze Postecoglou missed the win.
Nottingham drew 1-1 in the away match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season at Turf Moor in Burnley, England, on the 20th (Korea time). Nottingham took a 1-0 lead in the second minute with Neco Williams' first goal. Williams scored with a powerful mid-range shot, following the ball that flowed from the corner. That was the end of the jubilation. In the 20th minute of the first half, Jadon Anthony lost a point and allowed a 1-1 tie. The possibility of Oleksandr Zinchenko's own goal was raised, but it was recognized as Anthony's score. Nottingham had the advantage in possession (63.3%-36.7%), shooting (17-12), and effective shooting (8-5), but the game ended 1-1. According to the BBC, Nottingham's share is the highest since returning to the EPL in 2022.
Coach Postecoglou failed to win for the first time again this time. He led Tottenham to the top of the Europa League (UEL) in 2024-2025 last season. 'Captain' lifted the trophy with Son Heung-min. However, the EPL ranking has been hampered. Last season, he remained in 17th place, the remaining Maginot line. Tottenham put Thomas Frank at the helm instead of Postecoglou.
Postecoglou, who was unemployed, returned to Nottingham as head coach. However, in his debut match with Nottingham on the 13th, he was completely defeated 0-3 against Arsenal. In the third round of the England Carabao Cup (League Cup) in the 2025-2026 season against Swansea City (Second Division) at Swansea Stadium in Swansea, England, on the 18th, the team suffered a 2-3 come-from-behind loss. Nottingham led 2-0 at one point in the game. However, he lost 2-3 by giving up three goals in the second half alone.

After the match, BBC said 'Postecoglou is waiting for his first victory. However, Zinchenko's error led to a draw. Postecoglou's style is already spread throughout the squad. But I should have been able to control the game better. Nottingham will be given two opportunities to win the Europa League against Real Betis (Spain) and the EPL against Sunderland, the report said.
The game was tied, but there was a difference in ratings. BBC gave Burnley a higher score. In particular, Zinchenko, who made a fatal mistake on the day, received only 5.49 points, the lowest among the starters of both teams.
After the game, Postecoglou said, "I'm satisfied with certain parts. But I was disappointed that I couldn't go with three points. There have been a few sloppy moments."
