Add comment

Spurs were left with 10 players in the 70th minute, but they already had 2 goals lead.

Tottenham won against Nottingham Forest 2-0 at City Ground and won 2 matches in a row in the Premier League after failing to triumph in 5 games before that.

Brennan Johnson left the pitch injured on his 1^st return at City Ground since leaving in the summer to join Spurs and was replaced by Oliver Skipp in the 32^nd minute. However, despite that, Tottenham took the lead in the extra time of the 1^st half when Richarlison scored a header after Dejan Kulusevski’s cross.

Dejan Kulusevski himself doubled the North London side’s lead in the 65^th minute after Matt Turner’s mistake that gave him the ball. Yves Bissouma received a red card in the 70th minute for an awful challenge and left Tottenham with fewer players on the pitch for the final 20 minutes of the clash.
