Ten-men Tottenham Hotspur churned out a gritty win against an out-of-form Nottingham Forest on Friday night (December 15, 2023) to go level on points with fourth-placed Aston Villa, having now played a game more. Yves Bissouma saw red for Spurs in the 70th minute for a reckless foul on Ryan Yates. By then, however, Richarlison and dejan Kulusevski had given Spurs a lead that proved insurmountable for Forest in the end.
