Harry Kane scored a goal in each half, and had a penalty saved, as Tottenham secured a hard-fought 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Super Sunday.
The striker scored the 200th league goal of his professional career when he rolled in a low shot after being located by Dejan Kulusevski six minutes.
The England captain was thwarted from the penalty spot – for the first time in 22 attempts in all competitions – by Reds goalkeeper Dean Henderson after the break.
He did, however, atone for the miss inside the final 10 minutes by heading in Richarlison’s superb cross. It was his 187th Premier League goal, which elevated him to joint-third on the all-time scoring chart, behind only Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer.
The win for Antonio Conte’s men – their third in four league outings – moves them above Brighton into third in the table. Forest, meanwhile, drop to 14th.
