90+4 min Johnson, the previous Forest man, collects a go on the run, skipping inside Toffolo, who fouls him and is booked. free-kick Spurs, out on the fitting, 30 yards from aim … and somebody, I don’t see who, heads clear then, when it comes again, williams humps ahead for Awoniyi.
90+3 min Change for forest, Sosa changing Gibbs-White.
90+2 min Sels takes ages over a goalkick and is booked. He’s been good tonight; so have his teammates, who arrived in London below stress to rebound after a probably damaging defeat final outing. With Forest’s greatest season in 30 years at stake, they’ve executed fantastically to maintain the pinnacle and produce sufficient high quality to guide at this stage.
90+1 min Milenkovic goes down with obvious cramp, however is quickly again to his toes.

Livener! Spurs win a free-kick and shove it broad, Porro curling in one other fantastic cross, once more Richarlison rises, and this time he guides a terrific header down and throughout Sels, into the far nook. These previous few minutes can be intense!
85 min “Remember this line from Colin Farrell in In Bruges,” asks Rob Coughlin. “You weren’t really shit, but you weren’t all that great either. Like Tottenham.” Does this even apply anymore?”
Did it ever?
84 min My SkyGo crashes, returning simply in time for me to see Spence shanking a shot someplace in direction of Selhurst Park.

81 min What a save Matz Sels! Porro tosses in a cross and Richarlison is up once more, heading down … however Sels does brilliantly to attend for it to bounce earlier than flicking it away. Had he tried to get a hand to it when it hit the bottom, it will’ve overwhelmed him.
79 min “I’m guessing here,” admits Peter Crosby, “but I have wondered for some time whether Ange and his staff have a communication issue. I’m a Spurs fan and watching from afar, I’ve been struck all season by just how many subs are made at half-time. That feels wrong – it happens almost every game, and it strikes me as a corrective act rather than a progressive one. The message it must send to the players (I’m thinking Maddison more than most) is so negative. It often feels like desperation rather than controlled. Nuno and Forest are a great example of how it should be working – so the fact that it doesn’t with Spurs has got to be a management issue.”
I don’t assume the gamers are nice, however Postecoglou’s Spurs remind me a little bit of Ten Hag’s United: ok to beat the beast on a great day, however the supervisor couldn’t discover a corrective when the system that labored fantastic with the most effective, richest group in a weaker league turned out to be unsuitable for the Prem.
77 min This has been certainly one of Tel’s higher video games for Spurs – he’s regarded extra possible than most to make one thing occur, with out trying remotely prone to make one thing occur. He is perhaps good in a great group, however he’s not ok to raise a poor one.
75 min Johnson tosses a hopeful cross miles from anyplace, then Forest make one other adjustments, Awoniyi for Wooden – who now has 18 objectives for the season.
74 min Forest are so good at retaining their opponents assaults in entrance of them. Nuno and his coaches have executed such a great job of getting the group to purchase into, then drill the plan.
72 min Once more, Forest permit Danso to have the ball, so he mooches somewhat nearer to aim, then lashes a shot again the best way he got here … which scuttles simply broad of the publish.
71 min Right here come Spurs once more, Spence attacking the skin of Williams, who doesn’t have the tempo or physicality to manage, however nearly manages to get again ceding a nook … which involves nowt.
70 min Wooden bursts away from Sarr on midway and with no Van de Ven on the pitch tries to stay it in behind Davies and run him, however the defender will get in the best way simply sufficient.
68 min Two extra adjustments for Spurs: off go Odobert and Kulusevski, on come Solanke and Johnson.
67 min Sels saves Forest! A clearance hits Yates on the again and diverts the ball into the field, proper to Richarlison! However he’s possibly somewhat late to react, the keeper leaps at him, and wears the pushed shot on the midriff. That’s a little bit of a sair yin, however he’ll be fantastic.
65 min Gibbs-White’s contact is off, he lunges at Porro trying to retrieve the scenario, and lands studs on ankle. He’s booked.
63 min Oh my days! Porro’s nook goes close to publish, Kulusevski is as much as look a header headed for the far side-netting … till, out of nowhere, Toffolo – going through his personal aim – extends a go-go Gadget leg to hook away from below his personal bar! That’s sensational defending.
62 min If Postecoglou desires to get one thing out of this sport he certainly has to convey on Maddison? Although I’m not sure there’s a participant whose conception of how good he’s additional away from how good he’s, he’s nonetheless an honest participant capable of finding area in tight areas. Anyroad, Spurs have a nook down the fitting…
60 min “Hasan’s problems would be solved, in many ways, by Forest winning a third European Cup,” reckons Simon McGrother.
58 min Two extra adjustments for Forest: off go Danilo and Dominguez, on come Yates and Hudson-Odoi – who we thought may have an effect on the sport within the final half-hour or so.
57 min “Can’t agree with you about all except Spurs supporters siding with Forest,” says Richard Hirst. “I still have this nagging feeling that Forest got away with one when they went on their supermarket sweep; I can’t believe they weren’t relegated. For them to qualify for the Champions League seems inappropriate.”
Oh I didn’t say individuals can be siding with Forest, simply laughing at Spurs given the extent to which the sport has gone as they’d have deliberate it to. I agree that theirs isn’t a easy story of footballing romance – likewise that of Bournemouth and Brighton – however nowadays, it’s laborious to do significantly better.
55 min And right here comes the Forest counter! An extended punt clear is flicked on by Gibbs-White, who spins and continues his run, Wooden cushioning a stunning volleyed return into his stride, the close to facet of the aim opening up for him. However from the sting, his agency go in direction of it zips a yard or two broad. That’s by far the most effective probability of the half up to now.
54 min Now it’s Porro on the assault and Sarr once more box-crashes – he should’ve been given the order – however the ball arrives at an ungainly angle and all he can do is flick it over his personal head to nobody.
53 min Thus far this half, it’s been all Spurs, however Forest are snug.
51 min Higher from Spurs, Danso supplied area so feeding into the field, the place Sarr’s first contact takes him into area and away from Milenkovic, who grabs a handful of blouse on the ref’s blind facet, and does sufficient to carry his man up – although there was additionally an excessive amount of on the management.
50 min We’re again into it at Stockley Park, the hearth alarm resolved and VAR again working … or not.

Now, after tonight,it remains to be seen how much of the rest of my life on this mortal coil will be spent trying to unsee Elmo every time I look at it. So I just wanted to say thank you for that, really.”
On the plus facet, now you can additionally draw one of many nice Muppets.
