Elanga, who had scored in wins over Aston Villa and Brentford, put the hosts into a 28th-minute lead after being brilliantly picked out by Morgan Gibbs-White before prodding the ball home.

Tottenham rarely threatened Matz Sels throughout the contest, with the returning Brennan Johnson unable to find a way past the Forest goalkeeper with his three efforts on target.

Earlier in the match, a raucous crowd gave the Chinese players full support as they faced a formidable Pakistan. The game started slow with both teams struggling to find space in each other's defence. However, China kept control of the ball and made more attacks than Pakistan.

SAARI Faizal of Malaysia scored two goals for his side, while SAARI Fitri added another, and ANUAR Akhimullah opened the scoring in the first quarter.

It was also an unhappy return for former Forest defender Djed Spence, who was given a second yellow card late on to hand Ange Postecoglou another defensive issue, having seen Radu Dragusin go off injured moments earlier.

Thursday’s win lifts Forest above Arsenal and into third ahead of the Gunners’ clash with Ipswich Town, while Spurs stay in 11th, 10 points off the top four.

Data Debrief: Spurs endure Boxing Day knockout

Tottenham have often enjoyed fixtures the day after Christmas, but this was a day they would like to forget as Postecoglou's struggles continued on the banks of the River Trent. 

They lost a Premier League game on Boxing Day for the first time since 2003 (0-2 vs Portsmouth), ending their 16-game unbeaten run on 26th December (W12 D4).

Forest, meanwhile, have won four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since May 1995, while this victory ended a run of six consecutive league defeats against Tottenham.

And their latest win was inspired by Elanga, who has now scored in three consecutive Premier League games for the first time. He had gone 28 games without a goal before this current run and impressed at the City Ground once again.
