Tottenham's poor Premier League season continued on Boxing Day, with Nottingham Forest winning 1-0 at the City Ground to pile more pressure on Ange Postecoglou. The Australian knows his side must do better if they're to finish in the Champions League qualifying positions come the end of the campaign.

Forest are now 11 points clear of Spurs with the London club losing five of their last eight Premier League games

Tottenham Hotspur’s woes deepened with a 1-0 defeat away at Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day. Off the back of a crushing 6-3 defeat to Liverpool at the weekend — in which they trailed 5-1 at one point — Ange Postecoglou will have been looking for a reaction from his side.

Morgan Gibbs-White galloped into space and played in Elanga, who beat the offside trap and coolly clipped home for his third goal in three games. The visitors’ response was good and Forest needed another big save from Sels to keep their lead intact, again denying Johnson with a flying stop.

Ange Postecoglou has revealed Tottenham are more likely to sign players in January that add squad depth rather than those who will push for a place in their starting lineup. The Spurs manager also went on to explain why he believes the new format of the expanded Champions League has made the January transfer window a harder market to navigate.

Chelsea were stunned by a late show from local rivals Fulham at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, as Tottenham slumped to a defeat at Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest strengthened their European ambitions with a 1-0 win over Tottenham, whose miserable season took a turn for the worse. Anthony Elanga's first-half goal was enough for Forest to consolidate their position in the top four as the mist gathered at City Ground and the outlook keeps getting gloomier for under-pressure Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.
