From Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – Nottingham Forest gave Tottenham Hotspur an efficiency lesson as clinical visitors came out with a 2-1 victory over their waste waste on Monday night.
Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood turned half of the four Forest shots while Richarlison He could only find the network with one of the 22 Tottenham efforts in a painfully deep exhibition on the side of Ange Postecoglou.
The London’s North Dress is in the depths of 16th place, while Nottingham Forest increased his hopes for qualifying the Champions League by climbing the first three places.
As the game was deployed
The mood around the Tottenham Hotspur stadium was refreshingly light and airy in front of the starting shot. The evening cooling had not yet taken a crowd still reinforced by last week’s progress to an unexpected Europa League semifinal. Elliot Anderson exploded this bubble within five minutes of the inauguration.
Anthony Elanga’s chilling corner was kindly diverted to the path of ForestNo 8, who cut off his shot at the bottom of Rodrigo Bentancur’s thigh in his way in front of Guglielmo Vicario.
Chris Wood had been denied by a quick revision of VAR out of the tenth minute, but had his name on the score sheet with almost a quarter of an hour. In the second phase of another piece, Elanga found space to turn a diabolical ball on Wood’s head.
Up against the best runners of the division, one side at its best when it rests against the wall, Tottenham They were sent to swing the hopeful crosses in the box. Forest increased most of these optimistic deliveries, and Mathys Tel made a wild effort after Neco Williams made a rare mistake of the first half.
The goal of Matz Sels began to live an increasingly delightful life, as Forest focused without shame on preserving his two-goals advantage instead of adding it. Dejan Kulusevski had a header from Harry Toffolo line, while Richarlison turned three especially presentable openings, reaching a moment to find in the network without carrying the ball with him.
The Brazilian finally scored his goal in the 87th minute, climbing over a multitude of red t -shirts to direct the magnificent cross of Pedro Porro beyond Sels, but it turned out to be too late.

In an increasingly dominated division by specialist coaches seeking attention, a league where Nicolas Jover de l’Arsenal has its own mural, the supremacy of the forest piece has fallen slightly under the radar. Forget any immortalized ink figure on a brick wall, Forest separated with his coach from the piece Simon Rusk in October.
However, two goals of dead balls on Monday brought the seasonal account from Forest to 14, the most jointly through the Premier League (and one more than the arsenal). Unlike the last term, when Postecoglou took a strange position against the concept of working on overall pieces, Tottenham is no longer completely miserable when it comes to dead balls. But Forest showed once again that there is even more advantage to find Spurs.
“There are certain things that are not negotiable, and the first is (this) I want my teams to have the ball,” said Postecoglou at the HUDL Information Congress in 2020.
Nuno Espirito Santo has a fairly different approach. Forest average the lowest amount of possession in the Premier League. The abyss that separates the two teams from the season league table suggests which strategy has been most effective.
Forest predicted to let the Spurs have the ball they want, falling into a red block that formed to defend it within its own half. Spirito Santo was so married to a reactive approach that changed five to the second half.
Visitors may have launched much less attacks, although each header had a great threat, as the red arrows flew by a midfield, incorrectly, protected by the difficult threat. Rodrigo Bentancur.
The Spurs had their possibilities, but once again they could not take them in a painfully family scenario. Including the Monday game, which saw that Tottenham had 70% of the ball, the postcoglou side has won only one of the 11 Premier League games with its highest possession statistics in the campaign.
The first time Nuno Esperito Santo returned to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after spending four unhappy months in northern London four years ago, their forest were well beaten and ended the day first above the descent area. They now reside in the top three and have a semifinal of the Cup to wait this weekend.
The reports at that time stated that Espirito Santo never won the Tottenham locker room, as it was plentiful that he was the fifth club candidate (at best). Even Gennaro Gattuso was ahead in the penetration order in the summer of 2021.
The same can almost not be said of its relationship with the forest template. “The manager is fantastic. His man’s management is not second,” Elanga broke out earlier this month. “Believe in us and we believe in him. When you have these two working together, make you unstoppable.” This camaraderia turned away from a collective effort to keep the Spurs at bay.
Tottenham’s possession of Spirito Santo concluded after a race of five defeats in seven league games. The loss of Monday said that Postecoglus has endured exactly the same form of terrible formation.
Postecoglou reported at the same time that there was a “just joy in the locker room” after his side reserved his place in the semi -final of the Europa League last Thursday. The mood may have been more different on Monday.
Only a Spurs chief throughout the club’s Premier League history has ever lost more than the current 18 postcoglou game in one season. There are still five games left for the Australians to break the unwanted record of ossie Ardiles of 19 during the 1993/94 campaign.
Spurs finished 15th place this season. That year there were 22 teams in the Division and Tottenham was 16th out of 20. The last time they finished at five o’clock in the top of the flight was the 1976/77 relegation campaign.
