Tottenham 3-1 Nottingham Forest: Strong second-half performance from the hosts sees Ange Postecoglou’s side leapfrog Aston Villa into fourth in the race for Champions League football

Tottenham 3-1 Nottingham Forest: Spurs moved into the top four for the first time since February with a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The hosts took the lead in the 15th minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Forest centre-back Murillo put the ball into his own goal.

Chris Wood has been in great form of late and the New Zealander equalized for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side to take his scoring streak to three consecutive Premier League games.

After seeing their European football rivals drop points this week, Spurs managed to find another gear after the interval and regained their lead through Micky van de Ven before the hour mark.

Building on the momentum, Pedro Porro doubled the lead just minutes later, and the hosts withstood late pressure from Forest to seal the victory.
