Tottenham 1-2 Nottingham Forest: Nuno Espirito Santo's side retake third spot thanks to early goals from Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood... despite Richarlison setting up a nervy finish

Nottingham Forest took another huge step towards qualifying for the Champions League on Monday, as they reclaimed third place in the Premier League with a confident 2-1 win over Tottenham.

It took just five minutes for Forest to breach Tottenham's frail defence in north London, with Elliot Anderson opening the scoring with a fierce strike from outside the penalty area.

Just 11 minutes later and Chris Wood had doubled Forest's advantage with his 19th of the campaign, heading a sumptuous cross from Anderson past Guglielmo Vicario, who was left stranded after rushing off his goal line in the hope of punching the ball clear.
