Tottenham emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest in a crucial Premier League encounter on Sunday.

The scoring was initiated by an own goal, with Timo Werner’s cross deflected past the Forest goalkeeper by Murillo just 16 minutes into the game.

Forest levelled the score with a goal from Chris Wood after an assist from Ola Aina, putting the Lilywhites under pressure.

At halftime, a strategic double substitution by Ange Postecoglou saw Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur entering the field to boost Spurs’ performance.

Pedro Porro then sealed the victory for Tottenham, guiding the ball into the net from a precise cross by James Maddison, extending the lead and securing the three vital points.

Looking ahead, Tottenham faces a challenging fixture run-in with crucial matches against strong opponents.

First up is a trip to Newcastle, followed by the highly anticipated North London Derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Arsenal, who are in the title race.

Subsequently, Spurs travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea, a team vying for European qualification who will be tough competition.

Continuing their tough run, Tottenham faces Liverpool at Anfield, with the potential to impact the title race significantly and aim for Champions League qualification.

The final fixture sees Spurs against Burnley, where despite being favorites, Tottenham will need to secure a win to bolster their European dreams.
