Tottenham moved back to fourth place in the English championship by dominating Everton (2-1), while Luton beat Newcastle (1-0).
Tottenham moved back to fourth place in the English championship by dominating Everton (2-1), Saturday during an 18th day where the current relegation Luton beat Newcastle (1-0), a week after the heart attack of its captain Tom Lockyer.
Goals from Richarlison (9th) and Son Heung-min (18th) allowed Tottenham to secure a third consecutive victory in the league. It was won with difficulty against the Toffees, who came back to score by Andre Gomes (82nd) and who hit a post (62nd) and the crossbar (90th+6). In the standings, Spurs (4th, 36 points) overtake Manchester City (5th, 34 pts), exempt from a match this weekend after winning the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia on Friday.
This result puts an end to a good series of four victories in a row for Everton, 16th with 16 points, two more than Nottingham Forest, beaten 3-2 at the end of the suspense by Bournemouth. This seventh defeat in two months for Forest is also the first for the Portuguese Nuno Espirito, appointed Wednesday to succeed Steve Cooper.
Outnumbered from the 23rd minute, his team opened the scoring after returning from the locker room, being knocked down by a double from Dominic Solanke before equalizing a quarter of an hour from the end of regulation time. But she cracked on a new goal from Solanke in added time (90th + 4).
Nottingham, 17th, is only two points ahead of Luton, the first relegation winner of Newcastle (1-0), and only three over Burnley, victorious 2-0 at Fulham. Burnley can say thank you to their young Frenchman Wilson Odobert, scorer and decisive passer in a match refereed by Rebecca Welch, who on Saturday became the first woman to officiate in the Premier League.
