Nottingham Forest rise to third after Anthony Elanga goal sees off Tottenham
The mist rolled in from the Trent to the point where it was sometimes difficult to make out which Spurs player was running down which blind alley in the second half. But what is crystalline clear is Nottingham Forest’s momentum which, after Anthony Elanga’s third goal in successive games, has lifted them into third place in the Premier League.
Nuno Espírito Santo, Forest’s former Spurs manager, has organised his team so well that they now have 34 points from 18 games, the same tally they had at this stage in 1987-88, back when Brian Clough was manager, back in the days when the European Cup was only recently lifted.
