Live score, updates and highlights from the City Ground as Tottenham Hotspur look to continue their unbeaten start to the 2022/23 Premier League season with ...

We expect [those given a chance in the EFL Cup in midweek] to keep working hard in order to continue earning these opportunities." The rest of the matches are streamed on NBC platform Peacock for subscribers. The full-back was instrumental in last season’s promotion push while on loan from Middlesbrough, and this summer made a permanent transfer to Spurs. To play in the Championship with Nottingham Forest and then with Tottenham, he needs time to adapt himself in many aspects, in the physical aspect and the tactical aspect because now he is working with another coach. Since the January transfer window closed, there has been nobody better: Son leads the Premier League goal charts with 15 and Kane is in second on 14, while Kulusevski has a division-high nine assists. Kulusevski collects the ball on the halfway line and while he runs through the middle, Kane takes up the Swede's spot on the right side of the box. Neco Williams is inching further and further forward on the right flank, but the inroads he and Brennan Johnson are making lead to nothing, with a lack of runs from a proper striker. Gibbs-White has a whole lot of pressure on his shoulders, but he looks sharp, breaking through the heart of the Spurs' back-line with a great dribble, but Jesse Lingard can't capitalise. Every time they pick Forest off in the middle third, they move the play forward extremely quickly and look like they could rack up a hatful of goals. The hosts have spent a good amount of time in the Spurs half and look mildly threatening at times, but Kulusevski and co. Johnson and Gibbs-White are rotating well to keep the visitors guessing, but either way there's a missing piece of the puzzle in the middle. The hosts have put a lot into this first half in terms of effort, which is showing now as the tempo slows.

We have to continue in this way, it's not easy, another clean sheet and we scored two goals," Conte said. We have to trust in ourselves. We have started well but as we know in the Premier League it can soon turn around." "We have a fantastic manager, a really strong squad and we will need that squad over the next period as it's a busy schedule. It's important in the Premier League to try to get three points in every game. We got the three points but for sure we know we can do better," Kane said.

All of this talk about Nottingham Forest has made me parse through my library and pull out one of my favourite books, The Hidden Life of Trees. Like the Charles ...

We’ve only hit Chapter 1 of 36, and there is still that mushroom book to talk about. I certainly have admired them for a long time, but now I consider them to exist in their own environments and I a mere passerby. And if that tree did not survive, then its death would harm its environment, right? Whereas perhaps forests and the ecosystems that they create fall into a “survival of the most collaborative” category. If life were the survival of the fittest, then that tree would not survive, right? is valuable to the community and worth keeping around for as long as possible.

Forest still need to reinforce defence as Tottenham exploit lack of pace (The Guardian)

The transfer window is a marathon not a sprint and the final few hours could be the most telling in Nottingham. He was happy for promoted Forest to dominate possession, in the knowledge Spurs have the weaponry to expose the weakness. Antonio Conte recognised Forest’s lack of pace at the back and set up to hit them quickly – and repeatedly – on the break. But he will need to adapt to make the most of his attributes and avoid being exposed. He is the livewire to get the crowd on their feet and within five minutes he was dazzling Tottenham defenders with tricks and speed. They could not cope with Allan Saint-Maximin, the type of player they will come up against most weeks, nor did they possess the experience to understand what is required over a 38-game season.

However, it now seems more likely that he will instead return back ‘home’ to Ajax where he first made his name with 49 goals and 81 assists in 165 games for the club. ”We are waiting for Tottenham to sign another player.” True to their word, the club have held up Bryan Gil’s loan move to Valencia until they get this vital piece of recruitment nailed down. Algemeen Dagblad reported in Holland that Spurs were interested in the Morocco international despite his struggle to establish himself in the [Tottenham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/tottenham-hotspur-fc) with something of a race to find a no 10 to fill a potential playmaker role if Conte needs to change thing up, or at the very least more competition in the places cutting inside from out on the wing. And with his goalless start to the campaign, Son - who won the Golden Boot last season with 23 strikes - has shown that even the very best players can suffer something of a dip.

Tottenham miss out as Chelsea deal 'nears completion' after Man ... (Daily Express)

Despite the arrival of Richarlison from Everton, Antonio Conte is keen to bolster his attacking ranks further this summer with the addition of another forward.

The Red Devils have been desperate to sign a forward this summer, and their mediocre start to the season has further underlined that as a priority. Ajax were keen to re-sign Ziyech anyway, though their need for the forward has been accelerated now that an agreement has been reached with United for Antony. Injuries and inconsistent performances has meant that Ziyech has been nothing more than a rotational option at Stamford Bridge since his arrival, though Tottenham were reportedly keen on the 29-year-old.

Son Heung-min 'frustrated' admits Harry Kane despite Tottenham's ... (Daily Express)

SON HEUNG-MIN hasn't found the net in any of Tottenham's four Premier League matches this term.

According to Kane, his fellow forward is "frustrated" having drawn a fourth blank in a row, but the Spurs skipper insisted Son remains an "important player" who will soon rediscover his touch in front of goal. Spurs shelled out £60million for Richarlison from Everton earlier in the summer and the Brazilian is already beginning to assert himself in his new side. The South Korean striker, who shared the [Premier League](/latest/premier-league) Golden Boot with [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc)'s [Mohamed Salah](/latest/mohamed-salah) last term, is yet to find the net in any of his side's opening four matches of this campaign.

Richarlison class, Romero problem, Son debate: The questions ... (Evening Standard)

Tottenham continued their impressive start to the season with a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, thanks to Harry Kane's well-taken double.

It may therefore make sense to keep him in the side against West Ham in the hope that he discovers his scoring touch ahead of a gruelling game of games before the September international break. The Brazilian is reliable defensively but does not offer the thrust or end product typically demanded by Conte from his wing-backs. But Son is prone to blowing hot and cold and he almost never goes more than four matches without scoring. He has surely done enough to start at West Ham on Wednesday. With Conte calling for time for Spence to adapt, the 21-year-old is unlikely to start against West Ham or Fulham despite making his debut at Forest, but surely it is time for Doherty to be given a go. Spurs have struggled to keep the ball with a pivot of Hojbjerg and Bentancur this season and the more press-resistant and dynamic Bissouma feels like the perfect solution to their possession problem.

Kane at the double as unbeaten Tottenham wins 2-0 at Forest (TheRecord.com)

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Harry Kane moved third in the all-time Premier League scoring charts with two goals on Sunday as Tottenham won 2-0 at Notti...

Kane was first denied by a last-ditch tackle and then also drifted a shot wide before Forest managed to increase its pressure and pin the visitors back. Antonio Conte’s Spurs found the perfect way to quieten down the home ground as it took the lead after just five minutes. Tottenham then had enough chances to have the game wrapped up by the midway point of the first half.

“Not quite at it”: Harry Kane makes admission about misfiring Spurs ... (To The Lane And Back)

Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane has praised the team's squad depth amidst Son Heung-min misfiring in front of goal.

However, the South Korean hasn’t been quite at his best. However, the 25-year-old has been subbed on to play a part in the second half of the last three games and has made an impact. But when players are not quite at it then you need players off the bench to make an impact and Richarlison has been doing that.” However, the 29-year-old also understands the importance of having options on the bench. The England international has no doubt that the South Korean will be back to his best soon. Against Nottingham Forest, Tottenham were under the quash for most of the second half.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move to sign Chelsea playmaker Hakim Ziyech, but the player is closing in on a return to Ajax.

The latest at Spurs right now seems to be Harry Winks’ proposed move to Sampdoria going through. The Moroccan winger enjoyed a successful time in Amsterdam under manager Erik ten Hag before the player’s move to London. Any new additions would be welcome, of course, granted they add depth and quality to this team. Nevertheless, it seems that the 29-year-old has slipped through our fingers.

Alan Shearer has Son Heung-min theory after Tottenham star's ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Son Heung-min is yet to score in four Premier League games for Tottenham this season and he is coming under pressure from Richarlison for a place in Antonio ...

I'm happy with his performance and I don't see any problems with him,” he said in his press conference before the win over Nottingham Forest. But at the same time we always have to put the club winning before the interests of every single player. “If we want to achieve anything this season, we need Sonny to keep doing what he’s doing, he’ll pop up with goals no doubt, but also when players are not quite at it you need players off the bench and Richy’s definitely doing that.” Son is facing pressure for his place in the starting XI ahead of their trip to [West Ham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/west-ham-united-fc) on Wednesday evening. “I think no problem with Sonny's performance, his attitude and commitment is always up very high. “We have a lot of games coming up so we’re going to need everyone, of course Sonny is frustrated with not scoring but he’s an important player for us,” Kane told Sky Sports. You can see his reaction, he’s just not happy at all and rightly so – ‘take someone else off but not me!’” The South Korean is yet to find the back of the net in four “I was really interested in Son’s reaction to being substituted,” he told “I totally understand it and I think that’s a good thing. “There’s anger because he feels that someone else should come off, take someone else off, not him. [Son Heung-min](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/son-heung-min) was right to be angry with [Antonio Conte’s](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/antonio-conte) decision to substitute him for Richarlison in [Tottenham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/tottenham-hotspur-fc) ’s win over Nottingham Forest, according to [Alan Shearer](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/alan-shearer).
