Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner produced two errors to cost his side a goal during Friday's 2-0 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

The USMNT stopper - making his 12th Premier League appearance of the season - gave away possession in the 64th minute with a poor attempted clearance that was miscued into the path of Dejan Kulusevski.

Six seconds later a right-footed shot from Kulusevski burst through the hands of Turner to put Spurs 2-0 up at the City Ground.

Kulusevski had earlier produced a fine assist to set up Richarlison for the game's opening goal in first-half added time.

Spurs were reduced to 10 men five minutes after Kulusevski's goal when a VAR review resulted in Yves Bissouma being shown his second red card of the season for a dangerous challenge on Ryan Yates.

But the visitors held on to record their 10th Premier League win of the season.

Highlights: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
