Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction after Harry Kane brace

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Tottenham: Kane scores twice and misses penalty as Spurs continue fine start under Antonio Conte

Conte on UCL draw

Tottenham continued their impressive start to the Premier League season as Harry Kane scored two and missed a penalty in a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest.

Kane gave Spurs a dream start just after four minutes as he finished a swift counter-attack to claim his 200th league goal and score in the third match in a row.

But it was Forest who enjoyed the majority of the ball in an impressive first-half performance from Steve Cooper’s side - even if they failed to seriously test Hugo Lloris.

Forest required Dean Henderson to make a big stop after the break and save Kane’s second-half penalty, awarded following a Steve Cook handball on the line.

Spurs had been wasteful on the break late on, until substitute Richarlison picked out Kane at the back post for a simple header, leaving Antonio Conte’s side with 10 points from their opening 12.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

43 mins: Kane drifts over to the right and swings in a cross looking for Son, but it’s overhit and bounces behind. His early goal has been the difference as Forest have been level with Spurs for much of this half.

41 mins: Chance! Nice play from Forest down the left this time, as Toffolo cuts it back to Gibbs-White in the box. It sits up nicely but his placed shot from inside the edge is curled over.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

39 mins: Emerson gets involved in a Spurs attack, first playing it out wide to Perisic and then getting ahead of Son to meet Kane’s cross. Spurs are still getting space when they come forward but are lacking a bit of accuracy in their final ball in the final third.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

36 mins: Son’s scooped ball forwards sets up a race (?) between Kane and Cook, before Spurs turn around keep the ball. Conte could have done with that combination being the other way around.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

34 mins: More good play from Forest. They’ve really had so much possession inside Tottenham’s defensive third and this time Toffolo picks out Johnson’s run, but the header is wide. Williams then slashes wide after being played through on the other side. Lovely passing move from Forest though, splitting the lines.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

30 mins: Close! Nice play from Forest again, as Johnson lets the ball run on to Gibbs-White. The midfielder roams forward before almost picking out Lingard at the back post, but Lloris gets out well to deny him.

Son then races through but is about two yards offside. The play goes on and Son’s finish in very unconvincing, but he surely knew he was offside anyway.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

27 mins: Spurs looked to have settled after a couple of minutes on the ball, but then Kulusevski gives it away and Perisic is needed to defend against Johnson in the box.

A moment ago, Kane had the chance to put Son through - but the ball just sat up as Son looked to race through and it was pulled back for handball.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

24 mins: There’s still a nice flow to this match despite Kane’s early goal. Forest are having most of the possession and are probing well - but then it breaks to Spurs and Conte’s side suddenly look lethal on the break. It’s set up well.

Johnson produces another dangerous cross from this right side - Forest again missing the runner crashing the box!

21 mins: Save! O’Brian lines up a shot from 25 yards and catches it sweetly. Lloris palms it away, but that could have fallen anywhere! Instead, it only breaks to Williams, who digs out a cross and Perisic calmly heads back to Lloris.

18 mins: Action at both ends as Lingard leads the Forest attack. Great defending from Spurs as Hojbjerg throws himself at a shot from Yates, and it breaks to Spurs. Son carries forward and sets up Kane, who shoot wide looking for the far post.
