Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper, meanwhile, heads into the weekend under pressure.

The Dutchman felt his side would have gone on to win comfortably had they taken one of four first-half opportunities.

Diaz says he and his family are ‘desperate, distressed and without words to describe what we are feeling’.

Nunez has scored in his last three matches.

Yves Bissouma was sent off for Spurs at the end of the first half but Van de Ven’s second-half goal secured a vital victory.
