Tottenham beats Nottingham Forest

Sunday, 17 December 2023 | AP | Nottingham (England)

Dejan Kulusevski set up a goal and scored another as Tottenham gained ground on the top four by beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the English Premier League.

The Sweden midfielder collected goalkeeper Matt Turner's sloppy clearance and fired through the US international's hands from a tight angle in the 65th minute on Friday.

Earlier, Kulusevski sent a cross for Richarlison to head into the net in first-half stoppage time.

Spurs played with 10 men after the 70th when Yves Bissouma was red-carded for a studs-up foul on Ryan Yates.

They have won two in a row after snapping a five-game winless slide on Sunday with a 4-1 win over Newcastle, and were level on points with fourth-placed Manchester City. City led on goal difference ahead of its game against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Forest manager Steve Cooper will surely face more pressure after picking up just one point in the last six games. Forest has one win in its past 13 matches. It is in 16th place, five points above the relegation zone.

The home team briefly thought it equalised through Anthony Elanga from close range just before the hour mark, but he was ruled offside through VAR.

Minutes later, it was 2-0. After Kulusevski's goal, Turner pounded the turf with both hands, lowered his head and covered his face.
