Elanga, who had scored in wins over Aston Villa and Brentford, put the hosts into a 28th-minute lead after being brilliantly picked out by Morgan Gibbs-White before prodding the ball home.
It was also an unhappy return for former Forest defender Djed Spence, who was given a second yellow card late on to hand Ange Postecoglou another defensive issue, having seen Radu Dragusin go off injured moments earlier.
Thursday’s win lifts Forest above Arsenal and into third ahead of the Gunners’ clash with Ipswich Town, while Spurs stay in 11th, 10 points off the top four.

Nuno Espirito Santo is performing signs and wonders at Nottingham Forest FC.
He has managed to transform them from NOTHING-HAM to SOMETHING-HAM.
Can they keep this up though? If they can, Aina and company just might be playing in Europe next year!
AINA has just one mission in that game, to quiet SON…He pinned him…no breathing space for Son… Nothingham really proved, they can context for the title and champion league if they continue to believing in themselves…really impressed.
