Tottenham Hotspur bolstered their bid for a top-four Premier League position with a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. The win, marked by goals from Richarlison and Kulusevski and a red card for Bissouma, was Spurs' second consecutive Premier League triumph and extended their scoring streak to 29 games. Despite efforts from Forest's goalkeeper, Matt Turner, Forest's toothlessness in front of goal extended their winless streak since 5 November.

Big win for Spurs in tough conditions. A niggly game, a first-half injury and a second-half dismissal, but they come out as 2-0 winners. Post-match analysis for @TheAthleticFC hereโฌ๏ธ https://t.co/MsVVkM9Pgo

๐จ It's all over at the City Ground! Nottingham Forest 0-2 Spurs! โ #THFC go level on points with #MCFC! ๐ What did you make of that game? ๐ค
Williams has an effort that is somehow kept out at the near post. It might even have hit it. It did. It bounced off the post then hit the keeper. #NFFC have not had the luck in front of goal tonight.
Now Elanga has a chance at the far post. Not sure he thought the ball was going to run through to him. He fires wide #NFFC
Williams strikes a crisp shot, which is deflected for a corner #NFFC
Danilo has the chance to shoot from the edge of the box. But his effort is a poor one. Bissouma might be in trouble here though... a high challenge on Yates is being checked #NFFC
๐จ Nottingham Forest 0-2 Spurs KULUSEVSKI DOUBLES THE LEAD! โฝ๏ธ ๐ป Commentary - https://t.co/VJgUHnqdM1 https://t.co/2ZTsPJrSUa
Boly finds himself with a fine chance to draw #NFFC level after Elanga picks him out on the far side of the box... but he shoots wildly over.
Richy header gives Spurs another 1-0 lead. What happens from here anyone's guess. โช๏ธ https://t.co/W5av9QwULT
Richarlison heads Spurs ahead! โฝ ๐ฏ Tottenham have scored in 29 Premier League games in a row. ๐ It's their longest scoring streak in league football since a run of 32 between February and November 1962. #BBCFootball #NFOTOT https://t.co/2KL7tN8iqX
HT and #NFFC trail 1-0. Spurs had flown out of the blocks and dominated for the first ten mins... but Forest grew into this game. The CG was just sensing that something was happening... then Richarlison headed Spurs into the lead in injury time.

๐จ Nottingham Forest 0-1 Spurs RICHARLISON SCORES! โฝ๏ธ ๐ป Commentary - https://t.co/VJgUHnqdM1 https://t.co/Cv1njIuJgD
GOAL. Richarlison glances in a header. That's a blow to #NFFC who had actually been growing into this game. Spurs lead.
Turner races off his line brilliantly to claim the ball right on Son's head, just as he looked likely to have a decent chance #NFFC
Turner saves to deny Johnson but, from the resulting corner, Davies guides a header just over the bar #NFFC
Yates is unlucky as he intercepts a pass with a sliding block. It looks briefly as though he might have a sight of goal, but the Tottenham defence recovers #NFFC
Williams plays MGW into space down the right with a lovely ball. MGW in turn plays the ball into the feet of Elanga, who rampages into the box, before being denied by a strong save from Vicario. Flag went up, but it looked tight #NFFC
