Forest Defeats Spurs, Boosts Champions League Hopes

Nottingham Forest secured a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, reclaiming third place in the Premier League and boosting their Champions League qualification hopes. Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood scored early for Forest before Richarlison's late header for Spurs, but Forest's defense held firm. The win marks Forest's first league double over Tottenham since 1997 and underscores their turnaround under manager Nuno Espirito Santo after last season's relegation battle. Tottenham dominated possession but failed to convert chances, increasing scrutiny on manager Ange Postecoglou as their poor form continues. The Champions League race remains tight, with only three points separating third and seventh place. Forest's achievement stands out given their limited possession and rapid ascent from relegation candidates to European hopefuls.
