AliousNottingham Forest’s impressive victory now sees them sitting third in the Premier League standings, trailing only Chelsea and Liverpool. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in turmoil, with a string of poor results leaving them languishing in 11th place. The pressure is mounting on manager Ange Postecoglou, and Forest fans wasted no time rubbing salt in the wound.
Chants of “You’re getting sacked in the morning” echoed from the away end shortly before halftime, directed squarely at Postecoglou. Sky Sports noted the Tottenham supporters’ growing frustration with their team’s inefficiency in key moments, as missed opportunities and lackluster decision-making once again defined their first-half performance. Adding to Spurs’ misery were stellar displays from Forest center-backs Murillo and Milenkovic, who dominated defensively, along with two outstanding saves by Sels.
The irony of Tottenham’s situation isn’t lost, considering Nuno Espírito Santo was dismissed to make way for Postecoglou. Fast forward to today, and the fortunes of both clubs couldn’t be more contrasting. While Spurs grapple with mediocrity, Forest fans are daring to dream of a Champions League berth, thanks to their remarkable run of results against the Premier League’s top teams.
Though it’s too early for Forest supporters to celebrate, the idea of competing among Europe’s elite in 2025 is becoming increasingly plausible—a thrilling prospect for a club on the rise.
