Nottingham Forest 0-2 Tottenham
Buts : Richarlison (45e+2), Kulusevski (65e)
Expulsion: Bissouma (70th) for Spurs
No trees to hide the Forest.
Tottenham fulfilled their mission on the Nottingham lawn this Friday (0-2). Former Arsenal goalkeeper, Matt Turner delayed the deadline by repelling the attacks of Heung-min Son (3rd) and Brennan Johnson (23rd). On the other hand, he lost just before the break on the uncrossed header of Richarlison, already a scorer last weekend (0-1, 45e+2). The American goalkeeper even definitively buried his team’s hopes with a fatal restart error, immediately punished by Dejan Kulusevski (0-2, 65e).
The second expulsion of the season of Yves Bissouma, author of a nasty foul on Ryan Yates (70th), left the Londoners to finish the match with ten men. Forest, however, was unable to take advantage, despite a header from Gibbs-White miraculously saved by Guglielmo Vicario (85th) and a post from Neco Williams (90th+7). Already decisive once morest Anthony Elanga in the first period (18th), the Italian goalkeeper brings back a welcome clean sheet, his first in eight matches. Solid fifths, the Spurs are knocking hard on the door of the top 4 and are only four points behind the lead.
Back in business.
