Tottenham Hotspur blew away the gloom of a demoralising 10 days as Harry Kane’s double helped them to a 3-1 defeat of Nottingham Forest to cement fourth spot in the Premier League on Saturday.

Given a pre-match boost by Bournemouth’s earlier shock win over fifth-placed Liverpool, Tottenham took full advantage to get their stalling season back on the rails.

Kane headed them in front after 19 minutes and then blasted home a penalty in the 35th minute after Richarlison, who had earlier been denied a second-minute opener by VAR, was tripped inside the area.

It took Kane’s Premier League haul to 20 for the season, the sixth time he has reached that mark.

Tottenham - who went out of the FA Cup and the Champions League and lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league in their last three games - sealed the points in the 62nd minute when Richarlison set up Son Heung-min for a neat finish.

Forest, in danger of being sucked back into the relegation zone after a resurgence, only came alive when it was too late with captain Joe Worrall heading home in the 81st minute.

Andre Ayew then had a stoppage-time penalty saved by Tottenham keeper Fraser Forster.

Victory was a timely boost for Tottenham manager Antonio Conte whose future at the club has been the source of intense speculation since Wednesday’s Champions League elimination at the hands of AC Milan.

The tempo of the game is fairly slow at the moment as Spurs are not taking a lot of risks while holding onto the ball. This is making it easy for Forest to defend them.

Freuler does well to draw a foul from Davies and relieve the pressure being applied from the Tottenham press. Forest are not forcing long balls up the pitch and they look to play through their opponents.
