"Nuno, give us a wave," sing the Forest fans.
The Portuguese boss obliges.
Something special seems to be brewing at the club.
Who would have thought a former Wolves boss would be so adored by the supporters?

No new manager bounce and losing games from winning positions. Saints making it a blue, blue Christmas.

Final seconds. Palace are controlling things.

Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on Final Score
The goalkeeper has come out to narrow the angle but it is a really, really clever finish from Dango Outtara. He sees the keeper coming and puts his right foot under the ball to dink it over him.

We knew what Forest were trying to do and they did it beautifully.
Nobody was catching Anthony Elanga, but well done to Jordan Pickford.
Pickford has been really good again.
Everton 0-2 Nottm Forest
Jordan Pickford prevents Nottingham Forest from adding a third as Anthony Elanga strides through on goal but his shot is saved by the Everton goalkeeper.

Three wins all season. Embarrassing. Hopefully the Friedkin group act accordingly.

Tottenham 2-2 Wolves
Stephen Warnock
Former Premier League defender on Final Score
Fraser Forster has been done near post. The run from Jorgen Strand Larsen is lovely, as is the pass from Rayan Ait Nouri, and Strand Larsen lashes the ball as hard as he can near post, top corner.
Forster almost turns his back on it rather than standing tall and being brave. He should not be beaten from there.
Dango Ouattara (90 mins)
Image source, ReutersFulham have thrown a win away right at the death.
The Cottagers give up possession at the back under no pressure and Antoine Semenyo passes across goal to an unmarked Dango Ouattara at the back post who finishes with a cheeky chip over the keeper.
Is there still time for a winner?
Tottenham 2-2 Wolves
Check complete and the goal stands!
Tottenham had been getting deeper and they pay the price.

Five minutes added on.
Jorgen Strand Larsen

Jørgen Strand Larsen breaks clear of the defence and finishes superbly from a very tight angle.
But was he just offside? VAR is checking...
Fulham 2-1 Bournemouth
Fulham substitutes Rodrigo Muniz and Tom Cairney are left shaking their heads after they manage to tackle each other during a promising counter-attack, allowing Bournemouth to win the ball back.

They know exactly what they need to do, if they get a chance on the break they will take it.
It has been a grown-up mature performance.

Wolves have had the better of this second half and I think that an equaliser is more likely than a third Spurs goal.
Everton 0-2 Nottm Forest
Stephen Warnock
Former Premier League defender on Final Score
Nottingham Forest have been brilliant.
They lost Murillo from the defence in the warm up and they had to adapt. They changed the system before kick off and they have been superb.
The balance that they have up front and the players that they have in those forward areas are wonderful. They have been creative and clinical.

It has taken 81 minutes for Everton to have their first shot on target.
Everton 0-2 Nottm Forest
Everton have looked better since Dominic Calvert-Lewin came on and his header is saved by Matz Sels before he flicks another effort just wide.
Crystal Palace 2-1 Southampton
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace should really have wrapped up the points up by now. Five minutes plus stoppages to go and Southampton are still, just about, in it.
Tottenham 2-1 Wolves
A chance for Tottenham to wrap this up as Dejan Kulusevski is sent through on goal. He gets into the box and rounds the goalkeeper but Santiago Bueno gets back in time to clear.
