Tottenham moved six points clear of Liverpool in the Premier League table with a win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday Afternoon. Spurs' exit from the Champions League earlier this week leaves them with just a top-four spot to fight for in the Premier League.
Richarlison was handed a start against Forest by Antonio Conte after a controversial interview following the poor performance against AC Milan during the week. The Brazilian thought he had opened the scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but his goal was ruled out for offside after he appeared to 'shush' Conte in his celebration.
Harry Kane scored twice to give Tottenham a first half 2-0 lead over Steve Cooper's side, with Son Heung-min adding a third in the second half. Joe Worrall scored a late consolation goal with Fraser Forster also saving a penalty to keep the score at 3-1 as Spurs made the most of Liverpool's defeat to Bournemouth in the early kick-off.
