Nottingham Forest defeated Tottenham 3-0 at the City Stadium, and manager Sean Dyche praised the team's overall performance, calling it an excellent team play and a clear reflection of the team's recent progress.

In this match, Nottingham Forest secured three points thanks to a brace from Callum Hudson-Odoi and a brilliant long-range shot from Ibrahim Sangare in the second half. This victory not only moved the team up to 16th in the Premier League standings but also narrowed the gap with the top ten to five points.

After the game, Dyche said he was pleased with how his players responded to the tight schedule: "Overall, it's very encouraging. The team just won a game on Thursday, and today we adjusted the lineup, but the players still showed the same level of commitment and won again."

“The important thing is that every player understands their role on the field, and they have done that all week. Although there is still a lot of work to be done, this game clearly shows the progress we hope to see, both in terms of formation and overall intensity.”

When discussing the team's mentality, Dyche believes the Timberwolves are becoming more mature: "I can feel the team's mental state improving. We've experienced some setbacks, but that reminds us that we can't be complacent and that we still need to keep putting in the effort."

"When our work ethic, running distance, and formation are in place, the players have more freedom to unleash their attacking abilities. Today we did a good job in pressing, dropping back, and organizing our defense, which were key to the success of the entire match."

"We scored some very beautiful goals on the offensive end today, which is a reward for our hard work," Dyche added at the end.
