After a Murillo own goal gave Spurs an early lead, Wood popped up with an equaliser to make it 1-1.

That strike was his fourth in four Premier League games, showing that confidence is racing with the New Zealand star right now.

However, that confidence was soon dented when he missed a huge opportunity from close range, opting for power over placement as his effort struck the post.

As well as proving potentially costly, fans on social media couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

One fan wrote: “Chris Wood that is the miss of the century.”

Another said: “Sensational miss from Chris Wood, who (needlessly) goes for maximum power from a yard out and with Vicario on the deck, and strikes the post.”

A third supporter wrote: “What a miss from Chris Wood! An absolute sitter!”

Meanwhile a fourth fan wrote: “How on earth has Chris Wood missed that.”

Victory would see Forest move three points clear of the relegation zone.
