Tottenham secured a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest with goals from Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro, propelling them into the top four of the Premier League. Despite a first-half equalizer from Chris Wood, an own-goal and two second-half strikes sealed the win for Spurs.
Tottenham took control of the top-four race after second-half goals by defenders Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro downed relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest 3-1.
Maddison avoided punishment and helped the hosts claim a crucial win as they struck twice in five second-half minutes via fine finishes by Van de Ven and Porro to fire Ange Postecoglou’s team above their Champions League rivals. Nuno’s ill-fated spell only lasted 17 matches but he almost had a wonder goal to celebrate in the 11th minute.
Wood should have doubled his tally seven minutes later when Vicario denied Yates and he was first to the loose ball, but Forest’s top goalscorer smashed his close-range effort against the post. The match had taken on an end-to-end feel now but it was Tottenham who seized the momentum with two goals in the space of five minutes.
