Nottingham Forest were outstanding against Tottenham at the weekend as the Reds piled the pressure on Thomas Frank.

The hapless Spurs manager watched on, frustrated as his team couldn’t wrestle the ball off of Forest for large parts of the City Ground clash.

Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice, with Ibrahim Sangare being praised by Theo Walcott after smashing in a long-range effort in the second half.

Sean Dyche was without the injured Nicolas Dominguez and Matz Sels for the game but he was delighted that his team managed to come through and claim a big three points.

Nottingham Forest star makes Team of the Week with Hudson-Odoi and Sangare

Both Hudson-Odoi and Sangare either scored or assisted all three of the goals, and the pair were richly deserving of their place in the Who Scored Team of the Week.

Neco Williams has also joined the Forest duo, getting the nod at left-back as the highest-rated player according to Who Scored during the most recent round of matches.

Let us know which other players should have been picked in the Team of the Week below…

Williams has been a man on a mission over the last 18 months, and he’s quickly become not only one of the most improved players at Forest but also one of the best left-backs in the division.

On Sunday, he coped well with the attacking threat on offer by Spurs, and he finished the match with pretty sound statistics that led to his inclusion in this team.

Williams is one of the first names on the Forest team sheet

With full-backs currently in short supply in the Forest squad, Williams has showcased a willingness to play on both sides of the pitch in recent times.

His performance was good at the weekend, although it’s fascinating that he’s got in the Team of the Week, as it has felt as though he’s played better in recent weeks and missed out!

How would you score Neco out of 10 against Tottenham?

A bit of everything from the Welshman against Thomas Frank’s team:

Williams only cost Forest £17 million, and frankly, he’s proved a real steal at that price, with Liverpool spending far more in recent times to actually replace him.

At 24-years-old, Williams has a really bright future ahead of him, and it’s extremely exciting to see what he can continue achieving great things with Forest in the years to come.
