Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was delighted with his side’s composure as they made it back-to-back wins for the first time since October with a 2-0 Premier League victory at Nottingham Forest.
Dejan Kulusevski picked out Richarlison to head home the opener in first-half stoppage-time before turning goalscorer when he capitalised on a poor clearance from Matt Turner to double the advantage at the City Ground.
Tottenham then had to see out the final 20 minutes with 10 men after Yves Bissouma’s dismissal for a high lunge on Ryan Yates but they held on despite Neco Williams hitting the post late on.
“I m really proud of the lads, it’s not an easy place to come. We handled it really well and scored two good goals.”

According to a recent report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan could turn their attention towards Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa after not wanting to pay €40 million for Chelsea star Marcos Alonso – which was the proposed transfer fee put forward by the Blues.
Inter have been busy over the last few weeks with rumours here, there and everywhere regarding what their dealings are going to look like in the immediate future.
By immediate future, of course, we’re referring to the January transfer window, as Inter are widely expected to follow up on their hectic summer period by bringing in a few new faces.
Kurzawa could well be one of them, but we aren’t so sure whether or not the PSG man is going to be okay with the idea of bein…

Romelu Lukaku accused his Manchester United team-mates of hiding as Jose Mourinho s men crashed out of the Champions League.
Sevilla reached the quarter-finals of the tournament thanks to a 2-1 win at Old Trafford, secured thanks to a rapid brace from substitute Wissam Ben Yedder.
Lukaku grabbed a late consolation for United but the hosts could not find a dramatic late fightback to move into the last eight of the competition.
And the Belgium international, who hit his fifth Champions League goal of the season in the defeat, was highly critical of his United colleagues.
Something was wrong with some players, some players were hiding, Lukaku told BT Sport.
I think we started the game well, but then we let them get a bit of control in the game. W…
Arsenal s winning run came to an end in a dour Premier League goalless draw at home to Crystal Palace on Thursday.
The Gunners had won their past four matches in the league and cup to arrest an alarming slump, but their performances have still not been quite as convincing as results would suggest.
Mikel Arteta s men needed extra time to defeat Newcastle United last time out in the FA Cup and lacked any sort of imagination against Palace as the influential Kieran Tierney sat out with muscle tightness.
Indeed, Arsenal were ultimately fortunate to preserve a first home Premier League clean sheet since July 1 as they stayed 11th.
0 – Arsenal have kept their first home clean sheet in the since July (12 games), whilst Crystal Palace have recorded their first…
Mino Raiola claims Alex Ferguson did not believe in Paul Pogba during his first stint at Manchester United and says he does not give a f*** whether he deals with the club again.
Pogba left United for Serie A powerhouse Juventus in 2012 – a year before Ferguson stood down as United manager – after his contract expired, only to re-join the Red Devils in 2016 for what was then a world record transfer fee of £89million.
The France midfielder s future has been the subject of much discussion since Raiola claimed his client s time at United was over in December, prompting speculation of a possible return to Juve or a move to LaLiga champions Real Madrid.
Pogba s contract is set to expire in 2022, although United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently said…
Milan technical director Paolo Maldini has announced all contract negotiations have been put on hold until the end of the season after goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was allegedly confronted by supporters.
According to Italian publication Il Corriere della Sera, Donnarumma was left in tears ahead of Milan s clash with Benevento on Saturday after being given the ultimatum of signing a new deal or sitting out next week s key clash with Juventus.
The Italy international has spent his entire senior career at San Siro, racking up close to 250 appearances in all competitions, but he is due to become a free agent in June after failing to agree fresh terms and has been linked with a move to Juve.
Maldini is not happy with the way the club s fanbase has gone about pressu…
Departing Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez revealed his huge disappointment after the Red Devils crashed out of the World Cup.
The world s second-ranked side suffered a surprise elimination in Qatar after finishing third in Group F following a goalless draw with Croatia.
It brought the curtain down on a poor tournament for 2018 semi-finalists Belgium, who struggled past Canada in their opening game before suffering a shock defeat by eventual group winners Morocco.
The Croatia stalemate also spelt the end for Martinez, who confirmed his departure as Belgium head coach after six years in the role.
We were ourselves today, he reflected. We had very good performances and frustrated Croatia in the first half, but couldn t take chances in the second half.…
Leicester boss Dean Smith believes his side have piled the pressure onto Everton after seeing his team set up a dramatic final day of the Premier League season with a battling draw at high-flying Newcastle.
The 2016 champions will head into Sunday’s home clash with West Ham knowing even victory might not prove enough to keep them in the top-flight, but having piled the pressure on rivals Everton and Leeds.
If the Toffees win at home to Bournemouth, both City and Sam Allardyce’s side, who host Tottenham, will be relegated regardless of their results.
But a draw at Goodison Park coupled with a Leicester win would see the Foxes survive by virtue of goal difference and Smith believes they have put the heat on Everton.

Rio Ferdinand slammed Manchester United s direction following the embarrassing Premier League loss to Burnley at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Goals from Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez condemned a woeful United side to a deflating 2-0 home defeat in Marcus Rashford s absence.
The result left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s men six points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea and some 30 points behind leaders Liverpool, who beat them 2-0 at Anfield three days earlier.
Ferdinand, a vocal supporter when Solskjaer was named manager on a full-time basis in March, admitted the Norwegian deserves scrutiny and was scathing in his assessment of the club s transfer market moves since Alex Ferguson s retirement.
I have played with Ole, he is an ex-team-mate of mine, but the results ha…
