Nottingham Forest beat struggling Tottenham 2-1 on Monday, bouncing back from two defeats to strengthen their push for a Champions League spot while piling the pressure on Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou. 

Forest came into the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in sixth place after losses to Aston Villa and Everton. But early goals from Elliot Anderson (5th minute) and top-scorer Chris Wood (16’) settled their nerves and they held on tenaciously despite a late goal from Richarlison (87’) to climb to third in the EPL table.
