Tottenham are even doing worse than Manchester United this season and the ones we saw in Sunday’s game against Nottingham Forest were not worthy of a Premier League team. – Next week it is ready for the first semi-final in the Europa League between Bodø/Glimt and Tottenham and if it is as it has been lately, it will be a Norwegian victory even if Kjetil Knutsen’s team seems a little unconcentrated.
Nottingham Forest boosted their Champions League hopes after an impressive win over Tottenham that moved them up to third place in the Premier League.
Tottenham 1 – Nottingham Forest 2
The visiting team started the day in sixth place, but were in a determined mood from the start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to secure the result that would lift them up the table.

It took them just five minutes to open the scoring when Elliot Anderson’s powerful volley took off Rodrigo Bentancur and ended up in the net.
Spurs’ poor league performance this season is well documented, and despite winning against Eintracht Frankfurt last Thursday and reaching the Europa League semi-finals, they were unable to carry that momentum into this game.
That is good news for Bodø/Glimt, who carelessly managed to give away a 2 – 0 lead with a penalty and an own goal at Aker Stadium over Molde.
Tottenham man Ange Postecoglou calls Nottingham Forest’s defeat self-inflicted, while he has observed a pattern in Tottenham’s losing games. “It’s disappointing, another disappointing defeat. A defeat that was largely self-inflicted”
“We conceded two stupid goals and gave ourselves a mountain to climb. I don’t think we deserved to lose when you look at the balance of the game.
“Our football was good, you can’t deny that. We created a lot of opportunities. But like I said, it was really disappointing to concede two goals like we did.
“It has hurt us all year. We have let ourselves down. “It’s one game we should have won and it’s another one this year,” Postecoglou told the BBC.
The only thing that can save the season for Tottenham now is to win the Europa League. Something the manager points out to Sky Sports: “Yes, it’s a bit of a balancing act. We have to be smart. We have to be ready on Thursday next week, that’s the big game for us”
