Forest beat Spurs, disappointing results for Chelsea, City

Nottingham Forest continued charting their climb up the Premier League table after they beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on Thursday after a first-half goal from Anthony Elanga.

The result moved Forest provisionally up to third with 34 points, while Spurs are 11th with just 23 points after 18 games.

A Forest counterattack in the 28th minute saw the home side win the ball back and Morgan Gibbs-White played it through the defence for Elanga to score his third goal of the season.

Spurs had the bulk of the possession but Forest kept a second straight clean sheet as Nuno Espirito Santo sealed a victory over his former team.

Fulham stun Chelsea

Fulham came from behind to beat neighbours Chelsea 2-1 after a 95th minute goal from substitute Rodrigo Muniz gave the visitors all three point. It was Fulham’s first win at Stamford Bridge since 1979 and put a dent in second-placed Chelsea’s title hopes as the hosts stay on 35 points, four points off the pace having played two games more than leaders Liverpool.

Chelsea took the lead after 16 minutes when Cole Palmer danced past two defenders and slid the ball through Issa Diop’s legs into the bottom corner to score a classy goal.

But Fulham’s second-half energy and determination paid off in the 82nd minute when Harry Wilson headed home from close range for the club’s first goal at Stamford Bridge since 2011.

Muniz clinched all three points when he swept home a pass from Sasa Lukic in the dying moments of the match to take Fulham up to eighth with 28 points from 18 games. It was Chelsea’s first league loss since a 2-1 defeat on October 20 at Liverpool.

Man City held by Everton

Bernardo Silva scored an early goal but Erling Haaland missed a penalty as struggling Manchester City could only muster a single point in a 1-1 draw with Everton.

The champions’ slump has seen them win just once in their last 13 matches across all competitions — including one of nine league games — and they provisionally sit seventh in the table with

28 points, 11 below leaders Liverpool.
