“He’s just unbelievable to watch and one of the best stars in the PL this season”- Michael Owen hails unbelievable Nottingham Forest star player’s display Vs Tottenham
Nottingham Forest were given a bit of a fright by bottom-half team Tottenham away from home on Monday Night Football in the Premier League.
The Reds took the lead in the first half courtesy of a goal from Elliot Anderson who lashed home via a deflection from distance.
Shortly after, Chris Wood scored after also having a goal disallowed prior to his header that left the Tottenham goalkeeper with egg on his face after a horror attempt to clear.
It was the perfect opening 45 minutes from Forest to some degree, although had Wood’s goal been allowed to stand, a three-goal lead wouldn’t have flattered the Reds.
It was a strong performance from a number of players and naturally, pundits were on hand once again to ensure that Forest stars were given the praise which they deserved.

The Premier League Productions pundit was covering the game for the live coverage in a number of countries across the world.
He saw something in Anderson that others perhaps didn’t and Owen was seriously impressed with his showing in North London as Forest claimed a huge three points.
He said on the Premier League’s official website: “Elliot Anderson had an unbelievable start to the game. An array of passes and a striker like that for the goal. He was pulling the strings for the first 15-20 minutes. It was a joy to watch.”

The midfielder has been a standout signing for the Reds and ultimately, he will be in the mix to win the Player of the Year award at the City Ground.
Anderson has been in fine form and although he came to the club having not really played regular football at this level across his career.
However, he’s thrived and he can look back on this performance as one of his strongest in a Forest shirt since he checked in from Newcastle.
Anderson was simply stunning and richly deserved his goal that started off a superb night for the Reds.
