The 19th goal of Chris Wood in the Premier League of the season has helped Nottingham Forest to strengthen his qualification offer in the Champions League by moving third and finishing a double of the League on Tottenham, placed.
Elliot Anderson’s first shot from the box of the box died in front of Guglielmo Vicario to give Forest a fifth minute lead before the goalkeeper is wrong to get out of his line to allow Wood to exceed him from the crossroads of Anthony Elaga in the 17th minute.
There was a sparkle of controversy between the objectives where Wood thought he had struck the cross of Anderson, only so that the effort was excluded by the technology of semi-automated off-game as part of a video assistant referee (VAR), with the manager of the post -lla spurs showing a familiar discomfort at the time of the magazine.
The head of the 87th minute of Richarlison de la Croix de Pedro Porro gave Tottenham Hope, but Forest won a victory that raised them over Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle and gives them a three-point cushion on the sixth blues placed with five remaining championship games.
What a start for the forest! 💢

Spurs vs forest: Anderson, wooden goals
The forest contains a sensational season but their prospects for going to the distance and finishing in the Top five had been questioned after successive defeats at Aston Villa and at home in Everton.
Their departure at the Tottenham Hotpur Stadium showed how the Nuno Espirito Santo team can overwhelm opponents in a fanfaron style, and Wood now needs three additional goals in 2024/25 to match the Stan Colalymore record of 22 in a single Premier League season for Forest – established in 1994/95, when they finished third.

Spurs ultimately became more alive and may have been unhappy not to spin earlier. The goalkeeper Matz Sels shot a long -range Wilson Odobert shot shortly after the second in Forest, and Odobert installed Richarlison – making his first departure since February 6 – for a header that the attacker lost.
They finished with a total of goals expected of 2.14 for the 0.64 of their opponents, not having found the precision necessary to recover from the start of the Forest blisters.
