Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham LIVE!
Tottenham beat Forest with goals by Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski for a second straight win that nudged them closer to the Premier League top four on Friday, even after they had midfielder Yves Bissouma sent off late on.
Ange Postecoglou's Spurs team started the season in scintillating form before being hobbled by injuries but got back on track with a 4-1 home win over Newcastle and followed that with victory in a tricky-looking game at the City Ground.
Driven on by captain Heung-min Son, the visitors looked the slicker side from the start and were duly rewarded when Richarlison guided home a header in first-half stoppage time from a brilliant Kulusevski cross.
Kulusevski sealed the win himself in the 65th minute when he picked up a loose pass from Forest keeper Matt Turner, sidestepped Moussa Niakhate and smashed the ball into the net.
