Nottingham Forest beat Spurs 2-1 thanks to goals by Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood
Nottingham Forest have beaten Tottenham Hotspurs in a highly contested match between the two sides in the premier league played in the White Hart lane. Nottingham Forest beat Spurs 2-1 thanks to goals by Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood.
Chris Wood’s entry back into the team after injury has brought great news for Espirito Santo. The talisman has been in great form this season as he has scored 19 goals this season in 31 matches. He has been the target man for the Forest team as his dominating presence in the box is a constant threat for the opposition defence.

His absence was felt by Nuno’s men as they lost the last two matches they played in the Premier league which was a big blow for them and their Champions league dreams.
The goals might have been decisive but the display was far from it.
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham were adamant to get some points from the match and looked like they were ready to play it all out.
Nottingham Forest started the match with a bang as they scored two early goals in the form of Elliot Anderson’s volley from a corner in the 5th minute and Chris Wood’s glancing header into the far post from a speculative ball in from Anthony Elanga in the 16th minute.
Tottenham decided to wake up and start playing their natural football
After the double blow from the Forest team, Tottenham decided to wake up and start playing their football. It became fast and counter attacking as Tottenham decided to play their natural game.
The second half saw Tottenham produce more chances but the Nottingham defence stood strong and did not allow any goals from the attacking threats that spurs churned out.
Tel failed to convert a simple chance that he received after a mistake from the Nottingham defence and was not alone in wasting chances as the whole Tottenham attack was guilty in the cause.
Richarlison was able to salvage one back in the 87th minute
Richarlison was able to salvage one back in the 87th minute but it was too late for Ange’s side who suffered a record 18th defeat this summer.
This has been a very disappointing season for the Spurs fans and players as well as they are sitting in the 16th place and are on course to the worst finish under the Aussie manager.
Nottingham Forest on the other hand has been able to salvage some points after two rocky games where they were not able to win both the games without their talisman striker.
Nuno would be happy with the three points and will now be looking to seal a place in the Champions league qualification places.
