Tottenham midfielder Archie Gray says he used advice from his dad to move on from his error against Nottingham Forest and score his first professional goal to secure a much-needed 1-0 win at Crystal Palace. "It was a difficult game for me at Forest," Gray said, after he helped Tottenham to only a second win in their past nine Premier League matches. It was advice from his dad, ex-Forest forward Andy Gray, that stuck with the teenager and helped him score on Sunday. "My dad has always said to me after you make a mistake, just go get on the ball and don't be scared," Gray said. "That is something that stuck with me and I will never go hiding for the ball or anything like that.
