Dejan Kulusevksi was the star of the show as Tottenham beat Nottingham Forest – and fans are saying it's all because of his "kinky Catwoman mask".
The Sweden intentional scored one and assisted another as Spurs sealed back-to-back wins for the first time since October. Richarlison gave Ange Postecoglou's men the lead right on half-time at the City Ground after heading home a Kulusevski cross, and the ex-Juventus man made it 2-0 on 65 minutes after punishing a poor Matt Turner clearance and smashing the ball past the American keeper.
Forest were given a lifeline five minutes later when Yves Bissouma was shown a straight red card, his second of the season, for a high challenge on Ryan Yates. But the visitors held on for the victory to move level on points with Manchester City.

Elated Tottenham supporters leaped onto social media to celebrate the win, with a number of them asking Kulusevski to keep the mask on for the rest of the season. "Mask on Kulusevski is a different type of beast," one fan wrote on X.
Another said: "Kulusevski is amazing! Keep that mask on my Swede!" A third beamed: "Kulusevski with mask gives off Osimhen with mask vibes," while another somewhat titillated supporter added: "Kulusevski looks so kinky with his Catwoman mask."
Should Kulusevski keep the mask on for the rest of the season? Let us know in the comments section below.
Kulusevski has been wearing the face mask ever since breaking his nose during Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to West Ham earlier this month. His second-half strike was his fifth in the Premier League for Spurs this season, and his 12th overall for the club.
The 23-year-old has been one of the north London side's most consistent performers since joining from Juventus mid-way through the 2021/22 season. He initially arrived on an 18-month loan, but made the move permanent this summer, signing for a reported £25million.

Just four players have registered more assists in the Premier League than Kulusevski (17) since he moved to Spurs: Mohamed Salah (23), Kevin De Bruyne (22), Bukayo Saka (20) and James Maddison (19).
Kulusevski wasn't the only Tottenham player to make headlines against Forest. Richarlison played the role of pantomime villain again by shushing the crowd after putting Spurs head. He'd been receiving stick from the home supporters all evening due to his controversial showboating antics during Tottenham's 2-0 win over Forest back in August 2022.
