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.

Catch up with Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham as it happened, below:

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

15 mins: This is quite a dangerous situation for Forest now, with the state of the match really suiting Spurs. Perisic threatens on the left before it falls to Son, who bends a shot towards the top corner but sees it flash just over the bar.

12 mins: Chance! Spurs release Kane in the inside left channel but Worrall makes an important sliding challenge before he gets the chance to shoot. Kane was hanging forward and played onside by McKenna, as Spurs made another turnover in midfield.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

9 mins: A half-chance for Spurs on the counter after Forest give it away in the corner. Kulusevski flies forward but Tottenham can’t hit Perisic, who was free at the back post. Johnson then scampers forward, and sees his shot take a deflection from Davies and out for a corner.

Johnson, Lingard and Gibbs-White look really bright.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham

7 mins: That was a class from Spurs. Forest had made a good start but that’s a harsh reminder of how punishing the Premier League can be. Johnson whips a lovely ball across the face of goal, but there was no one there for the touch.

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham (KANE 4’)

Where has that come from?! Tottenham make a brilliant start, and it’s Kane again! Kulusevski plays a big role, picking the ball up on the halfway line and threading a lovely reverse ball to Kane, who carries his run. He then picks out the bottom left corner for his 200th league goal - another milestone.

Kane has now scored in three games in a row.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham

3 mins: Perisic gives away a pass on the halfway line and Gibbs-White drives forward impressively. The attack then fizzles out, and Gibbs-White fires over from 25 yards.

1 min: Early pressure from Forest, after Lingard wins a free kick. He then fizzes a couple of testing crosses into the box, that Lloris deals with.

Tottenham’s first league match at Nottingham Forest since 1999 is underway! It’s a beautiful afternoon at the City Ground. Cracking atmosphere too.

Nottingham Forest have won their last eight home matches at the City Ground - a run that obviously stretches back to their promotion campaign.

Tottenham are still favourites here, but Forest will want to keep making their home a fortress in the Premier League.

It’s been a huge summer of signings at Nottingham Forest - and it’s about to get even bigger!

According to reports, Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi is close to becomming their 18th signing of the summer.

There are even rumours the Brazilian will be unveiled at the City Ground before today’s match!
