Home goalkeeper Guaita saved Rodri's powerful shot from the opening quarters, and shortly afterwards he saved Akanji's long-range shot from the outside.

In the second half, Tottenham's attacking suppression continued, with Richarlison sending an assist with a long pass from the bottom line, and Son Heung-min broke away from the defensive low shot from the penalty area and scored from a corner. Despite Worrall's header to recover for Nottingham Forest, Tottenham managed to retain their lead and secure three points to cement fourth place in the Premier League.
Bournemouth 1-0 Liverpool
