Nottingham Forest 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur: Hudson-Odoi, Sangare sink sorry Spurs

Nottingham Forest appear to be back on solid ground under Sean Dyche, evidenced by the Tricky Trees 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, their fourth in eight Premier League games since the new manager’s appointment.

WATCH — Nottingham Forest v Tottenham Hotspur full match replay

Forest had won just once in eight games (under two different managers, Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou) when Dyche debuted on Oct. 26; Forest sat 18th in the PL table with just five points (and five goals scored) from eight games. Since then, 13 points from the same number of games (5th in the PL) and 12 goals. Forest (18 points) are still 16th at the moment, but two points is all that separates them from 13th and the top half of the table is only five points away. What could have been this season, had Dyche been brought in to replace Nuno instead?

MORE — Thomas Frank reaction

Callum Hudson-Odoi scored Forest’s first two goals — the first one on purpose — either side of halftime and Ibarhim Sangare smashed a stunning strike off the inside of the post with 10 minutes remaining, while Spurs accomplished precious little throughout the game, attempting just six shots for 0.37 xG in a game that they trailed for more than an hour. Thomas Frank’s side (22 points) remains 11th in the table, with just four points between them and Forest in 16th.
