Nottingham Forest have moved up to third in the Premier League table after running out 1-0 winners over Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground on Boxing Day.

The high-flying Reds scored what turned out to be the winner in the 28th minute of the game as Anthony El🐭anga struck following a swift counter-attack.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White slid the ball through to Elanga, who curle🌠d past Spurs keeper Fraser Forster for a goal which stood followingﷺ a VAR check.

Tottenham couldn’t come back from Elanga’s goal, and insult was added to injury when Djed Spence was sent off for two needle🐽ss bookings late on in the game.

Spence, who actually played well for Spurs, was shown his first yellow on 75 minutes for ꦐkicking the ball away shortly after conceding a free-ki🍎ck.

And in injury time, the former Forest loanee dragged Jota down during a counter to earn himself a second bo🍒oking and an early bath.

Forest fans on🌟 social media had a lot to say about Spence in the latter stages of the game at the City Ground.
