Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham LIVE! Kane Missed Penalty – Premier League Match Stream, Latest Score, Updates
Harry Kane scored his 200th league goal as Tottenham look to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season at newly-promoted Nottingham Forest this afternoon. Despite seven points from their opening three games, comprehensive performances have so far eluded Antonio Conte’s Spurs, with Kane bailing them out of trouble against Chelsea and Wolves.
And he scored after just six minutes against the run of play in the East Midlands, firing a shot past Dean Henderson and into the bottom corner after an incisive breakaway. With Spurs carrying a strong threat on the counter, Forest were by far the better side in the first half, playing great football and creating plenty of chances, roared by a passionate crowd.
Record signing Morgan Gibbs-White makes his full Forest debut today causing plenty of trouble alongside Brennan Johnson and Jesse Lingard. Follow the second half with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below, including expert analysis from Dan Kilpatrick at the City Ground!
