Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Micky van de Ven sends Spurs fourth
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Tottenham Hotspur are bidding to return to the top four with a win at home over Nottingham Forest, who themselves are desperate to put points between themselves and Luton Town in the battle at the bottom to avoid relegation.
Son Heung-min is making his 400th appearance for Spurs, who have the likes of Micky van de Ven and Brennan Johnson in their starting lineup - the latter against his former club. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are only outside the bottom three on goal difference heading into the match and can ill-afford too many further defeats.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
That's 12 Premier League goals for Wood this season, who has now scored in his last four straight games in the competition - the longest streak of his career!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
No sooner has Vicario punched a Hudson-Odoi cross clear, then Spurs are flying forward on the break through Sarr. He plays a one-two with Johnson before crossing, but it's straight into Sels' hands at his near post!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
CHANCE!! Werner beats Williams to the byline and cuts the ball back towards Johnson at the near post, but Sels gets a vital parry on the ball before the Welshman can turn it home and Forest eventually hack the loose ball clear of danger!!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
SAVED!!!! Bissouma really fancies a goal in this game!! Maddison plays a square pass to him on the edge of the box and the Malian shoots once more, but the low, curling strike is saved and held by Sels at the second time of asking!!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
Son plays a one-two with Porro on the edge of the box but is caught and goes down while running to latch onto the return ball. The Spurs captain appeals for a penalty with Yates pleading his innocence for the challenge, and the referee sides with the latter to wave play on.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
Tottenham have benefitted from five own goals in the Premier League this season - the outright most of any side, and that total includes two in their last three matches against Luton and Forest!

SAVED!!! Gibbs-White turns brilliantly on halfway and frees up Hudson-Odoi to his left, who dribbles forward, cuts inside and fires a right-footed shot straight into the gloves of Vicario!!
