Jesus scores as Nottingham forest stun Spurs 3–0 in relegation clash

Nottingham Forest delivered a dominant performance to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 on Sunday in a crucial Premier League clash, accordingtoSky Sports. Forest broke the deadlock just before halftime in the 45th minute when Igor Jesus rose highest to head in from a corner, silencing the home supporters. Tottenham had earlier created opportunities but failed to take advantage, allowing the visitors to grow in confidence.

The lead was doubled in the 62nd minute through Morgan Gibbs-White, who found space inside the box and finished with composure. Spurs struggled to mount a meaningful response, with Forest remaining compact, disciplined, and threatening on the counter throughout the second half. The result was sealed in the 87th minute when substitute Taiwo Awoniyi tapped in from close range to make it 3–0.

Tottenham pushed forward late on but couldn’t break through Forest’s defence, with their attacking play lacking sharpness and precision. The victory lifts Forest further from the relegation battle, while Spurs’ defeat deepens their struggles near the bottom of the table after yet another disappointing display.
