Head coach Steve Cooper was left with mixed feelings after Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite having nothing to show for their efforts, it was a good performance by the Reds at the City Ground. They were twice punished by England captain Harry Kane, but had been the better side in the first half especially.
Lewis O’Brien forced a good save from Hugo Lloris, while Morgan Gibbs-White and Neco Williams also went close during the 90 minutes. Perhaps the hosts' best chance fell to Ryan Yates, who put a free header wide after the break, when the match was still in the balance.
