Makama broke the deadlock three minutes into the second half. Leading the line in the absence of leading scorer Josh Sargent, who was concussed in midweek, the summer arrival from Lincoln City timed his run perfectly to turn in Jacob Wright’s precise near-post cross.

Southampton struck back in spectacular fashion in the 57th minute through Ryan Manning, who thumped home a left-footed shot from 30 yards after winning a challenge

Nottingham Forest 3-0 Tottenham: Guglielmo Vicario errors hand Callum Hudson-Odoi double

By Total Football News

One step forward, two steps back for Tottenham.

Yet again, as Spurs looked to progress under Thomas Frank, they came crashing down in arguably their worst performance of the season.

By Total Football News

Alphonse Areola, West Ham, keeper, £4.3m – Burnley (h)

This team needs a couple of budget options and Frenchman Areola is a decent choice in net.

Nuno Espirito Santo got his first home win as Hammers boss last week and his plan was always to fix the defence first, so you have to hope they keep it tight against Burnley.

Gabriel, £6.6m, and Jurrien Timber, £6.1m, both Arsenal – Sunderland
