A brilliant strike by Anthony Elanga against Tottenham Hotspur makes it his three straight goals in the last Nottingham Forest Premier League games after helping the Forest to beat the visitor 1-0.
The match played at the City Ground pushed Nottingham Forest to third position on the Premier League table.
Elanga scored in the team’s previous two matches against Aston Villa and Brentford; today he scored in the 28th minute. He successfully converted a pinpoint pass from Morgan Gibbs-White into a goal. The Sweden international converted an opportunity while Tottenham found it difficult to net a goal despite three on-target attempts that were created by Brennan Johnson.
The visitor’s problem was compounded after former Forest defender Djed Spence was shown a red card at the late moment of the game while their defense missed Radu Dragusin, who could not play because of an injury.
The win for Nottingham Forest makes it their fourth straight win in the Premier League, a record that was last broken by the team 29 years ago and ended their six-game losing run against Tottenham Hotspur.
Elanga did an outstanding performance as he fired three shots in the game with nine touches in Tottenham’s box. The visitor now sits in 11th position on the Premier League table after their first Boxing Day loss since 2003, ending a 16-game unbeaten streak on the day.
