Sangaré stunner and Vicario errors escalate Tottenham's troubles

Just as Tottenham appeared to be generating some momentum, they put on a limp display and suffer an embarrassing defeat.

Ibrahim Sangaré leathered in a sensational strike in off an upright that pinballed around the net to cap the victory and a deeply satisfying week for Sean Dyche, whose side established some welcome daylight between them and the relegation zone.

An unedifying defeat for Spurs was underpinned by another erratic performance by their goalkeeper, who was at fault for Forest’s first two goals, both scored by Callum Hudson-Odoi; Guglielmo Vicario’s hospital pass led to the opener and his positioning was exposed for a freakish second. By the end, the olés were out in force on a miserable afternoon for Thomas Frank.

Scores of the away supporters who were given complimentary blue-and-white scarves by Spurs headed for the turnstiles long before the final whistle, after which Vicario and Archie Gray, whose combined errors led to the opener, raised their palms by way of an apology.
