After a strong start to the season, Spurs have been in a bit of a mess in recent weeks. However, last week the team from North London achieved an important victory over Newcastle United. To keep the pressure on the top four, Tottenham now had to beat Nottingham. The club’s players seemed to realize that too, because Spurs were lord and master in the City Ground.
This also resulted in the opening goal just before half time. Richarlison, who was the big man against Newcastle with two goals, nodded the 0-1 against the ropes. In the 65th minute, Dejan Kulusevski doubled the margin with a hard shot in the short corner. Given the dominance of the field, Tottenham seemed to be heading for a problem-free victory, but five minutes after the 0-2 score, the world suddenly looked different. Yves Bissouma got red after planting his studs high in the leg of Nottingham midfielder Ryan Yates.

As a result, Spurs had to make every effort in the final phase of the match. Partly thanks to Guglielmo Vicario, who distinguished himself with a fantastic save, the visitors managed to win. Tottenham is therefore increasing the pressure on Manchester City: they are now equal on points with The Citizens, who will play later this weekend. The gap with number six Manchester United is also six points.
