Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham LIVE!
Harry Kane went past the 200 mark for league goals as Tottenham maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with another unconvincing win over newly-promoted Nottingham Forest. Despite claiming seven points from their opening three games, complete performances have so far eluded Antonio Conte’s Spurs, with Kane getting them out of trouble against both Chelsea and Wolves.
And he netted after just six minutes against the run of play in the East Midlands, bobbling a shot beyond Dean Henderson and into the bottom corner after an incisive early breakaway. While Spurs carried a strong threat on the counter-attack, Forest were much the better side in the first half, playing some super football and creating numerous chances, roared on by another passionate home crowd.
Henderson saved Kane’s second-half penalty after an inexplicable handball from Steve Cook, but the England captain popped up again late to steer in Richarlison’s fine cross to move level with Andy Cole as the joint-third highest goalscorer in Premier League history and take Spurs up to second.
