Although Tottenham had the early chances, it was Forest who took the lead.  Teddy Sheringham, David Howells and Chris Armstrong all had opportunities to score, but in the ninth minute, Bryan Roy ran through the Spurs defence to slot the ball home.  It was a fine free-kick from Sheringham that brought Tottenham level in the 33rd minute.

With Spurs again having the majority of the goal-scoring chances in the second half, it was disappointing that in extra time Ronny Rosenthal's shot was cleared off the line by Stuart Pearce and Steve Slade's late shot hit the post, meaning the game went to a shoot-out.  

Unfortunately for Spurs, Pearce scored the first penalty, while Mark Crossley beat out Clive Wilson's effort.  Ian Walker stopped Roy's kick and then Rosenthal's shot was stopped before Ian Woan and Ruel Fox both converted theirs.  Steve Chettle slotted past Walker and Teddy Sheringham had to score his penalty to keep Tottenham in the match, but Crossley once more saved a Spurs FA Cup penalty to seal their exit form the competition.

Mabbutt's third minute foul on Bryan Roy gave Ian Woan the opportunity to fire a shot past Walker from the edge of the box, but the lead only lasted for five minutes, as Sheringham flicked on Calderwood's long free-kick for Chris Armstrong to head home.

With 29 minutes on the clock, Campbell put in a cross that Crossley failed to hold and Armstrong was on the spot to convert the chance and give Spurs the lead.  

Kevin Campbell and Roy were denied by a fine double save by Walker on 62 minutes, but when Rosenthal fouled Steve Stone 10 minutes later, he was left helpless as Woan hit his second goal from the free-kick to take the tie to a replay.

The home side took the lead after 25 minutes when Kingsley Black shot in from the edge of the penalty area, with the lead doubled ten minutes later through a near post finish from Robert Rosario after Ian Woan crossed from the left wing.

Spurs did get a goal back a minute before half time, when Steve Sedgley headed in after a corner had been headed up into the air, but even with a whole half to play, Tottenham could not force and equaliser.  Erik Thorstvedt had to be replaced at half-time, with Kevin Dearden making what was to be his last Spurs appearance, along with Nayim, who was to move to Real Zaragoza at the end of the season.

Spurs strung together an excellent passing move and with six passes opened up the Forest back-line to allow Paul Allen to loft the ball over the defence and find Nicky Barmby running through to volley through the keeper's legs.

Forest found a way back into the match when a second half free-kick found it's way out to Scot Gemmill, who shot from 25 yards and it went in off the post.  Spurs were striving to get back into the lead and achieved that when Dean Austin's long throw was flicked on by Sheringham and then Mabbutt headed it on to Barmby at the far post.  The midfielder played a low ball back in front of the goal and Mabbutt was there to knock the ball into the net with his knee from four yards out.

Forest took an 11th minute lead through Steve Hodge (later to play for Spurs), who shot past Parks in goal for Tottenham, but Mark Falco pulled Spurs level by knocking home Graham Roberts' cross on 26 minutes.

The home side pushed Spurs back for large sections of the game and the pressure told when Colin Walsh scored in the 64th minute.  But with only a minute or so to go, Ardiles picked out a shrewd pass through the Forest defence to find Chris Hughton running through and he found the back of the net with a 15 yard shot to earn Spurs a point.

Chas and Dave entertained the crowd before the game and five minutes into it Spurs fans were not keen to sing along to "Mustn't Grumble", as Colin Walsh gave the visiting side from the East Midlands the lead.  With Spurs failing to get going, it was not until the 70th minute that Gary Stevens' diving header from Garry Brooke's cross levelled the scores.

Five minutes before the final whistle, Brooke floated in a free-kick and Mark Falco rose to head downwards into the danger area and Steve Archibald nipped in to poach the winning goal.

Spurs turned on a very good performance to see off a strong Forest team.

Tottenham took the lead just before the half hour with a Gary Mabbutt header, then Ricky Villa cleverly made an opening for Garth Crooks to add another goal three minutes after.  

Mabbutt scored a third before half-time to put Spurs 3-0 up and although Garry Birtles had found Ray Clemence in fine form, he pulled one goal back for the visitors.  However, Willie Young condemned his new side to defeat when he assisted Tottenham with a sloppy back-pass allowing Crooks to nip in to poach a fourth goal.

Sours were awarded a penalty and Glenn Hoddle stepped up to face Peter Shilton in the City goal.  The ball was hit to the keeper's right and he dived to push the ball out, but some Forest players were inside the area at the time the kick was taken, so Hoddle had to take it again.  This time, he shot to Shilton's left and found the back of the net, but Mark Falco was encroaching, so again he had to replace the ball on the spot.  For a third time Hoddle ran up to take the kick and placed the ball near the right hand post, but Shilton saved it for a second and final time.

On a sunny autumn afternoon at White Hart Lane, Milija Aleksic kicked the ball upfield, where Gerry Armstrong flicked it on.  Chris Jones knocked the ball back into the path of Hoddle, who produced a stunning volley that flew past a helpless Peter Shilton to give Tottenham an early lead they held to the end of the match.

Featuring on The Big Match TV programme, the goal was hailed as the best that season, with the ball not touchng the ground until it nestled in the back of the net at the Park Lane end.

Spurs made their first appearance of the season with Ossie Ardiles and Ricardo Villa in the side, pulling in a bumper crowd at the City Ground, which was to become a common feature in this season - Tottenham's first back in the First Division.

Martin O'Neill opened the scoring for the home side, but the crowd got what they came for when Villa scored an equaliser in the 27th minute to earn Spurs a point.

The game was fairly dire, with Spurs fans singing "We want football" and "What a load of rubbish", as the team struggled against the Reds, who were being managed for the first time by Brian Clough.  Spurs could have brought the tie level in the 82nd minute, when Perryman snaffled a loose ball away from the keeper, but his shot was too high and Spurs were consigned to an early exit from the competition.

However, Spurs were forced into a replay when Perryman's foul on Ian Bowyer got Forest a free-kick on the edge of the area.  George Lyall knocked the ball to Dave Jones and his left foot shot flew in from 25 yards to take the tie on to White Hart Lane.

Just 45 seconds into the game, Martin Chivers' long throw found Martin Peters, who hit a shot from three yards out that went wide.  With the wind blowing towards the Park Lane end, neither team was able to get the ball down and play their normal game, but in the seventh minute Chivers put Spurs into the lead when he reacted first to the Jim Barron's parry from Alan Gilzean's shot and hit the ball into the net.

It was a Chivers long throw that created the second goal as Gilzean came across the front of the defender and back-headed into the net with 41 minutes gone.

The visitors got back into the game in the second half, when Knowles was adjudged to have fouled Peter Cormack and Ian Storey-Moore struck the 67th minute penalty past Jennings to make the score 2-1 and it stayed that way until the end, although Jennings and Knowles had to combine to stop Cormack grabbing a late equaliser.

However, a fiery start to the second half saw Forest come back to take the lead.  Ronnie Rees headed the home team level, then Henry Newton touched a short free-kick to Ian Storey-Moore, who struck a fierce shot past Jennings to make it 2-1.
 

It took until the final minute for Spurs to tie it up at 2-2, when Alan Mullery's determined run and cross from the right was put back into the danger area by Alan Gilzean and Pearce arrived to put the ball past Grummitt.

Young centre-half Peter Collins stopped Barry Lyons scoring from a narrow angle with a goal-line clearance in the 15th minute, but Spurs broke away when Roger Morgan took the ball off Len Harris and crossed into the box.  Greaves took the ball and set up Gilzean to shot home from the edge of the box in the 28th minute.

The home side pressed again as the rain fell heavily, but Spurs held firm and broke again near the end, when Gilzean returned the compliment for Greaves to stroke home a left footed effort to make it 2-0.

Spurs came out on top in the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough in an open and attacking match.

Frank Wignall went close twice in the first half hour with Cyril Knowles required to kick the ball away from in front of goal and another effort just going wide, but Spurs kept Forest out as they pressed forward.  On 32 minutes, Spurs opened the scoring.  Kinnear passes sideways to Mike England in the centre circle and his lofted pass forward found the head of Alan Gilzean.  It was his knock down from the aerial battle with Bob McKinlay that provided the opportunity for Jimmy Greaves to strike a left foot volley that flew past keeper Peter Grummitt and went in off the left-hand post.

After 66 minutes, Saul took the ball off Terry Hennessey and hit a 20 yarder past the goalie to make it 2-0.  Saul and Hennessey were lucky to stay on the pitch after they got involved in a spat near the corner flag.  It was the Forest defender who closed the gap with an 81st minute header from Barry Lyons' corner that bounced down over the line off the underside of the crossbar.  Forest pressed for an equaliser, but Spurs caused some concern at the other end with Grummitt saving well from Gilzean, Saul and Greaves.  Forest's efforts were not enough to keep Spurs from going through to Wembley to meet Chelsea, who overcame Leeds in the other semi.

Despite going behind to a Trevor Hockey goal after five minutes, Spurs went on to record a very big winning score against Nottingham Forest at White Hart Lane.
 

When Jones was felled in the box five minutes after the restart, Les Allen fired home from the penalty spot.  Jones himself got a goal to make the score 8-1 before Greaves completed the Spurs total with his fourth of the game.  The scoring for the match was rounded off when Geoff Vowden netted for Forest with five minutes left.
