Nottingham Forest 3-0 Tottenham Player Ratings: Callum Hudson-Odoi 9.5/10 Rated as the Englishman Starred in a Dominant Home Victory for the Tricky Trees

What a stunning performance from Nottingham Forest. They completely dismantled a very poor Tottenham Hotspur side. The 3-0 scoreline honestly doesn't even flatter them. This was one-way traffic from the opening whistle.

Nottingham Forest set the tone early, with Ibrahim Sangaré hitting the post just five minutes in. It was a sign of things to come. The deadlock was broken by Callum Hudson-Odoi, who was simply unplayable all afternoon. He would go on to score another, with Sangaré grabbing a deserved goal himself. The synergy between them was a joy to watch. This match will be remembered for their brilliance.

Spurs, on the other hand, were a shambles. They offered next to nothing going forward and were defensively calamitous. The midfield battle was lost completely, and their attackers were isolated figures. A really tough day at the office for them in this crucial Premier League fixture. It's back to the drawing board for manager T. Frank. Here are Sportsdunia's Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham player ratings.

Nottingham Forest Player Ratings vs Tottenham

Check out the Nottingham Forest player ratings for the Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham fixture.

Goalkeeper

John Victor - 7.0: Had a very quiet day but was alert when needed. Made one good save from Archie Gray in the first half. He commanded his box well and his distribution was solid. A clean sheet is a clean sheet, and he earned it with minimal fuss.

Defenders

Neco Williams - 7.5: A constant menace down the flank. He was defensively sound, winning most of his duels and making key interceptions. Also contributed to the attack with some dangerous crosses. A very complete full-back performance we witnessed today.

Murillo - 7.0: Looked composed at the back. He was strong in the tackle and read the game well, making a few important clearances. Lost a few duels but was never really troubled by a limp Spurs attack. A solid outing for the Brazilian.

Nikola Milenković - 8.0: A rock at the heart of the defense. From our perspective, he was dominant in the air, winning almost everything. Made a staggering six clearances and a couple of crucial blocks. He was a huge reason for the clean sheet.

Nicolò Savona - 7.0: Got a yellow card but was otherwise excellent. Provided great width and delivered some quality crosses into the box. We noticed his link-up play was very effective, and he was unlucky not to get an assist. Defensively disciplined throughout.

Midfielders

Ibrahim Sangaré - 9.0: An absolutely colossal performance. Scored a stunning goal from outside the box and provided two assists. He ran the midfield, hitting the post early and creating chances all game. A truly dominant display that overwhelmed the opposition.

Callum Hudson-Odoi - 9.5: Unquestionably the man of the match. Two goals and an assist capped a phenomenal performance. His movement, skill, and finishing were too much for Spurs. He was a constant threat and the driving force behind this victory. The highest-rated player on the pitch without a doubt.

Elliot Anderson - 6.5: The quietest of the Forest midfield but did his job effectively. He kept the ball moving and worked hard off the ball. His passing was tidy, though he lost possession a few too many times for our liking. A decent if unspectacular shift.

Morgan Gibbs-White - 7.0: As captain, he led by example with his work rate. Missed a couple of decent chances which prevents a higher rating. However, his creativity and link-up play were vital in connecting the midfield and attack. Always looked to make things happen.

Omari Hutchinson - 8.0: What stood out to us was his incredible work rate. He was everywhere. Won nine duels, made crucial tackles, and was a livewire with the ball at his feet. A fantastic all-around game that terrorized the Spurs defence.

Forwards

Igor Jesus - 6.5: Worked tirelessly up front, drawing fouls and holding up the play. His physical presence occupied the Spurs defenders, creating space for others. Missed a good chance but his overall contribution was important for the team's structure.

Substitutes

Douglas Luiz - N/A: Came on late with the game already won.

Dan Ndoye - N/A: A brief cameo at the very end of the match.

Manager

S. Dyche - 8.5: His tactics were spot on. Forest were organized, aggressive, and played with a clear plan. He identified Spurs' weaknesses and exploited them perfectly. A masterful coaching performance from the gaffer.

Goalkeeper

Guglielmo Vicario - 5.5: Conceded three goals but it's hard to blame him for any of them. He was left completely exposed by a dreadful defence. Made a couple of decent saves to prevent the scoreline from being even worse. A tough afternoon for the keeper.

Defenders

Cristian Romero - 5.0: A difficult day for the captain. He seemed a step off the pace and struggled with Forest's fluid attack. Made a few interceptions but was also caught out of position multiple times. Not his usual commanding self.

Pedro Porro - 4.5: Really struggled against the trickery of Forest's wingers. He lost possession far too often and picked up a deserved yellow card for a clumsy challenge. Offered very little going forward and was a defensive liability.

Djed Spence - 5.0: Had a torrid time on his side of the pitch. He won a good number of his duels but was ultimately part of a defence that was torn apart at will. Substituted before the hour mark after an ineffective display.

Micky van de Ven - 5.0: His pace usually gets him out of trouble, but not today. He was dribbled past twice and seemed uncertain against the movement of Hudson-Odoi and Sangaré. A performance he'll want to forget very quickly.

Midfielders

Xavi Simons - 6.0: One of the few Spurs players who actually looked like he was trying to make something happen. He created a couple of chances and won most of his duels. However, he was fighting a losing battle in a completely dysfunctional midfield.

Archie Gray - 4.0: A day to forget for the young midfielder. His error leading to a goal was a calamitous moment that summed up Spurs' day. He was hooked before 60 minutes after a performance that showed his inexperience. Arguably the worst performer on the pitch.

Mohammed Kudus - 5.5: He was full of running but lacked any real end product. His crossing was particularly poor, failing to find a teammate on multiple occasions. He worked hard but was ultimately ineffective before being substituted.

Rodrigo Bentancur - 5.5: Looked solid enough in the first half, making tackles and interceptions. But the game passed him by, and he was unable to get a grip on the Forest midfield. Substituted as Spurs looked for a way back into a game that was already lost.

Randal Kolo Muani - 5.0: Showed some flashes with his dribbling but was largely anonymous. He was easily dispossessed and failed to offer a goal threat. A deeply disappointing outing where he couldn't impose himself on the game at all.

Forwards

Richarlison - 5.0: Completely and utterly isolated up front. He was starved of service and had to feed on absolute scraps. Missed one decent headed chance in the first half. To be honest, there was very little he could do.

Substitutes

Lucas Bergvall - N/A: Came on with his team already losing and picked up a yellow card.

Ben Davies - N/A: Brought on to try and shore things up, but the damage was long done.

João Palhinha - N/A: Had little time to make any impact on the game.

Mathys Tel - N/A: A late substitute with the game out of reach.

Brennan Johnson - N/A: Came on against his old club but had no opportunity to influence the result.

Manager

T. Frank - 4.0: From our perspective, he got this one horribly wrong. His team looked disjointed, unmotivated, and tactically naive. He was outcoached by his opposite number and failed to react as the game slipped away. A shocking day at the office.
