Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ibrahim Sangare starred for Sean Dyche's team, which got back on course in the top flight after its 3-0 to Everton.

The home side made a strong start and could have gone ahead within the first five minutes, as Sangare's header struck the post, while Guglielmo Vicario kept out Neco Williams' shot on the rebound.

The opener arrived for Forest in the 28th minute as an ill-judged pass from Vicario set Archie Gray into trouble, with the midfielder losing the ball to Sangare on the edge of Spurs' penalty area, and he squared it across for Hudson-Odoi to finish.

Gray nearly made amends a few minutes later with a fine shot on the swivel, but John Victor, on his Premier League debut, kept the effort out, while Forest went close to doubling their advantage as the half drew to a close, but Morgan Gibbs-White failed to get on the end of a teasing cross from Igor Jesus.

Forest doubled its advantage early into the second half, though, as Vicario misjudged the flight of Hudson-Odoi's wicked cross-shot.

Omari Hutchinson and Jesus went close, but Forest grabbed a third when Sangare capped off a standout performance with a curling effort that found the net via the post.
