To make matters worse, it was Turner\u2019s poor clearance that let Kulusevski in.<\/p>\n<p>Forest have won only one of their last 13 games and Cooper\u2019s short-term future remains in doubt with owner Evangelos Marinakis considering his options.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is not something that should happen at this level,\u2019 said Cooper when asked about Turner\u2019s mistake for the second goal. \u2018We have to own stuff we can do better \u2013 sometimes it will be individual, sometimes collective. We\u2019ll review it over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There are real little moments of quality we are not delivering. I have no complaints with the commitment but we are not managing defining moments. We have to strive to do better.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/16\/00\/79025041-12870501-image-a-45_1702685607747.jpg\" height=\"441\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Steve Cooper was unable to hide his frustration after seeing his side come unstuck against Spurs on Friday night\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/16\/00\/79025127-12870501-image-a-46_1702685615431.jpg\" height=\"414\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Matt Turner was slow to come for the cross that led to Richarlison&#8217;s opener at the City Ground<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/16\/00\/79025075-12870501-image-a-47_1702685618575.jpg\" height=\"436\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Forest keeper compounded the mistake of a poor kick by failing to stop Dejan Kulusevski&#8217;s powerful drive\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The job means the world to me and always has done. I know there are talking points around me and I wish it wasn\u2019t the case. I wish we were talking about wins but as a club we are very together.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We have to stay that way. Everything we have done here has been built on togetherness. The fans saw a team who gave everything but we need to show quality and not give away silly goals.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham were reduced to 10 men midway through the second half when Yves Bissouma\u2019s yellow card for a foul on Ryan Yates was upgraded to red after a VAR check.<\/p>\n<p>It was Bissouma\u2019s second sending-off of the season, meaning a four-game ban. Given the midfielder is due to play for Mali in the Africa Cup of Nations, he may not now play for his club again until the end of January.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou had little to say about that decision from referee Jarred Gillett but he was delighted with the performances of Richarlison and Kulusevski.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian said: \u2018It was a desperate lunge from Bissouma more than anything malicious. I assume they slowed down the footage and saw what they saw. You have to cop it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Richarlison is a goalmouth monster and \u2018Deki\u2019 has been great for us all year, in a number of positions.
