Sports

Nottingham Forest 1 | 0 Tottenham Hotspur

Nottingham Forest secured a historic fourth consecutive Premier League win, beating Tottenham 1-0 thanks to Anthony Elanga's third goal in as many games. The victory propelled Forest to third in the league table, marking their best run since 1995 and giving manager Nuno Espirito Santo a first win over his former club since his dismissal in 2021. Nuno praised the team’s progress but emphasized the need for realism, urging fans and players to savor the moment while staying focused on upcoming challenges.

Elanga's impressive form has drawn attention, with Newcastle reportedly interested, while Forest face the challenge of balancing their strong squad dynamics ahead of the January transfer window. Meanwhile, Tottenham's struggles continue, with six losses in their last 10 games, sparking fan frustration and chants against chairman Daniel Levy. Despite dominating possession, Spurs lacked cutting edge, and questions about the team’s direction under manager Ange Postecoglou persist.
