Chris Wood’s 19th Premier League goal this season helped Nottingham Forest to step up their Champions League qualification by passing third and completing the league doubles at Tottenham No. 16.
Elliot Anderson deflected Guglielmo Vicario from the edge of the box, giving the Forest a fifth minute ahead, then the goalkeeper messed up his game and let Wood drive over him from Anthony Elanga’s cross in the 17th minute.
When Wood believes there is a dispute between the targets he hit from Anderson’s cross, just to try to be excluded by semi-automated offside technology as part of a video assistant referee (var) check, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou showed familiar annoyance during the review.
Richarlison headed from Pedro Porro’s Cross to Tottenham Hope in the 87th minute from Richarlison, but Forest won, putting them ahead of Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle and gave them three points in the sixth-place Blues with five league games remaining.

Spurs vs. Forest: Anderson, Wood Target
The Forest had a sensational season, but their distance and prospects for the top five were questioned after their streak of failures at Aston Villa and Everton’s homes.
Their start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium shows how Nuno Espirito Santo’s side overwhelms with an exaggerated style, and Wood now needs three more goals in 2024/25 to match Stan Collymore’s 22 records in a single Premier League season in the 1994/95 Forest season.

The Spurs ended up being lively, and perhaps unfortunately don’t clean up earlier. Goalkeeper Matz Sels turned long distance Wilson Odobert shot after Forest’s second game, who set up Richarlison for the first time since February 6 – the forward misplaced the position.
Their expected goals totaled 2.14, while the Forest was 0.64, but failed to find the accuracy needed to recover from the Forest Bubble Start.

Mathys Tel also couldn’t find his shooting range due to injury due to his son, a 19-year-old Bayern Munich lender who became the first chance to win the first Spurs teenager in three straight Premier League matches.
Richarlison tried to clear the ranks, with Totterham significantly improving their intensity before Brazil’s international scores, but the Europa League semi-finalist, who made five changes, dropped to the 11th defeat in 33 league matches this season.
