Tottenham 3-1 Nottingham Forest: Spurs moved into the top four for the first time since February with a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The hosts went in front after 15 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Forest centre-back Murillo bundled the ball into his own net.

Chris Wood has been in great form of late, and the New Zealander equalised for Nuno Espirito Santo's side to take his goal scoring streak to three consecutive Premier League games.

After seeing their rivals for European football drop points this week, Spurs managed to find another gear after the interval and restored their lead through Micky van de Ven before the hour mark.

Seizing their momentum, Pedro Porro doubled the advantage just minutes later, and the hosts resisted some late pressure from Forest to seal the win.
