Head coach Steve Cooper felt a lack of aggression from his Nottingham Forest side proved costly in a poor first half as they lost 3-1 to Tottenham Hotspur.
A first-half Harry Kane brace gave the visitors a mountain to climb. And although they improved after the break, Son Heung-Min killed the game off just when the Reds were starting to get a bit of joy.
Joe Worrall’s header was only the fourth goal they have scored on their travels in the league, with Andre Ayew missing the chance to add to that tally when his late penalty was saved. Without a win in four, Forest’s cushion above the relegation spots has been cut to three points.
