Tottenham’s new interim head coach Igor Tudor says there is “no time to find excuses” as he bids to halt the club’s Premier League slide. New Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira is not afraid of getting the sack despite taking on the poisoned chalice of the City Ground job. The 25-year-old left the field in Lisbon after reporting a member of the Benfica team to the referee, before returning as the game resumed following a 10-minute delay. Jose Mourinho was criticised by Amazon Prime pundit Clarence Seedorf after the Benfica boss appeared to suggest Vinicius had provoked the abuse in his post-match interview, while Trent Alexander-Arnold called the incident “a disgrace to football”. Arsenal will look to get their Premier League title challenge back on track when they visit bottom side Wolves.
