Tottenham Vs Forest Highlights 4o6a27
Nottingham Forest’s Champions League hopes are back on track after the Tricky Trees beat Tottenham 2-1 on Easter Monday.
The Reds moved up to third in the Premier League table after early goals from Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood downed a lacklustre Spurs side.
Richarlison scored late on for the hosts but it proved nothing more than scant consolation. Forest suffered back-to-back defeats prior to the game which saw them drop out of the top five.
Now, Santo’s side are right back in the mix heading into the last five fixtures of the 2024-25 campaign. Their 18th win of the season has created a three-point cushion over sixth-placed Chelsea.
Anderson opened the scoring with just five minutes on the clock. The summer g from Newcastle blasted his effort goalwards via a deflection and Lilywhites goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario could only parry it in the back of the net.

Wood took advantage of Vicario’s fragile confidence as he easily beat the Italian to a cross to head home his 19th top-flight goal of the campaign.
Mathys Tel and Richarlison wasted good chances to get Ange Postecoglou’s side back in it before the break as they pressed for a goal.
On another night, that would have come were it not for the brilliance of Harry Toffolo. The full-back made an excellent goal line clearance to deny Dejan Kulusevski just after the hour.
Matz Sels showed his worth in between the sticks again as he denied Tottenham on a number of occassions as the match headed towards its finale.
The Belgian was finally beaten by Richarlison with three minutes left on the clock. The Brazil international nodded home but ultimately, it wasn’t enough as Postecoglou’s side suffered their 18th league defeat of the season.
