It did not take Nottingham Forest long to drain the joy from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and put Ange Postecoglou's tenure at Tottenham back under a harsh spotlight.
Four days after masterminding the triumph in Frankfurt that secured him a stay of execution the Australian coach watched his team concede twice in the opening 16 minutes, a deflected shot from Elliot Anderson and a header from New Zealander Chris Wood.
Forest went on to win 2-1, lifting them back to third and leaving Spurs 16th after their 18th loss of the Premier League campaign.
