PLENTY TO ENJOY FOR REDS BOSS IN WIN AGAINST SPURS

SEAN

- By SARAH CLAPSON

Dyche usually keeps his cool whenever a goal is scored but even he allowed himself a little celebration when Nottingham Forest's third went in against Tottenham Hotspur. Ibrahim Sangare capped a tremendous afternoon at the City Ground with a stunning 79th-minute strike to seal a 3-0 win for the Reds on Sunday. Callum Hudson-Odoi had already netted a brace by that point as the hosts moved five points clear of the relegation zone.

Sangare's goal was the pick of the bunch, though. Not only was there some lovely buildup play beforehand but the finish by the midfielder from outside the area was a beauty.

Head coach Dyche acknowledged as much as he offered some applause and a thumbs up. He also turned to assistants Steve Stone and Ian Woan and mouthed: 'What a goal!'

Not that the 54-year-old was prepared to admit he had revelled in the moment. Asked about his celebration, he joked afterwards: "I'll have to look at that back.

"I'll have to get the VAR to have a check on that. I'm disappointed in myself if I have got involved in that nonsense."
