Cristian Romero promises ‘200%’ effort in Tottenham’s battle against relegation

• Spurs dropped to 17th after 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest

• ‘The most important thing is to understand the situation’

Cristian Romero has promised to put 200% into Tottenham’s seven remaining “finals” to avoid a seismic Premier League exit.

Spurs’ survival hopes took a significant hit after a demoralising 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, dropping them to 17th and increasing the possibility of a first relegation since 1977. Tottenham’s winless league run stands at 13 matches and despite fans flooding the streets in N17 to give the team bus a raucous welcome, the pre-match optimism was replaced with a sense of inevitability after another abject defeat.
