Tottenham Regains Premier League Top Four Spot After Victory Over Nottingham Forest”

Tottenham reclaimed their spot in the Premier League’s top four for the first time since February with a victory over Nottingham Forest.

The hosts took an early lead when Forest defender Murillo inadvertently turned Timo Werner’s cross into his own net. Forest responded with an equalizer from Chris Wood, who finished off Anthony Elanga’s cross.

However, Tottenham regained the lead in the second half when center-back Micky van de Ven unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area, finding the top corner. Pedro Porro then extended Tottenham’s lead with a goal six minutes later, hammering in James Maddison’s pass.

The win propelled Tottenham above Aston Villa in the table on goal difference, with a game in hand. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest remained in 17th place, just outside the relegation zone on goal difference compared to Luton Town.

Van de Ven continued his impressive season with a dominant defensive display and a well-taken goal. Tottenham’s captain, Son Heung-min, also came close to scoring with an effort that hit the post.

Despite some bright moments, Forest couldn’t replicate their recent success against Fulham and were unable to secure a crucial win in their battle against relegation. They face Wolves in their next match.

Overall, Tottenham’s victory puts them in a strong position to secure Champions League qualification, while Forest will need to regroup as they aim to avoid relegation.
