20 mins: Forest are asking plenty of questions of this Tottenham defence now, forcing a corner that is just about dealt with before a vicious long-range strike from Lewis O’Brien has to be parried away by a diving Lloris.

Composed but risky from Perisic as he then guides a header back to his goalkeeper with Spurs under huge pressure.

18 mins: End-to-end stuff now at the City Ground. It’s been a really entertaining start to this contest.

Forest’s latest attack is repelled after busy work from Lingard, while Son quickly feeds Kane at the other end.

The England skipper cuts inside and attempts to bend a strike into the far corner, but it whistles beyond the post.

15 mins: Close again from Spurs!

Perisic stands up Williams, delivering an enticing cross that is headed clear.

Pinball ensues on the edge of the Forest box, until Son smashes an effort narrowly over the crossbar.

13 mins: Almost 2-0 to Spurs as Kane is played in by a wonderful threaded Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg pass, but Joe Worrall gets back to make a superb recovery challenge.

A vital intervention from the Forest captain.

Kane reaches another milestone with his 200th Premier League goal, and he has Kulusevski to thank.

The obvious pass was to Ivan Perisic but instead Kulusevski reversed the ball to Kane, who finished from the edge of the box.

Great decision making by the Swede.

9 mins: Forest have not been at all deterred by that setback, with Johnson clearly the danger man.

His latest shot is blocked, while there was a dangerous ball fizzed across the six-yard box a few moments ago, plus a foolishly heavy challenge by Emerson Royal.

Johnson again coming forward now as Tottenham struggle to deal with the significant threat posed by the Welsh international.

6 mins: Tottenham score with their first attack of the afternoon!

Their counter looks to have been broken up, but Forest concede possession sloppily in midfield and the visitors are away again.

It’s a fine pass from Dejan Kulusevski into Kane, whose low shot trickles beyond Dean Henderson and into the bottom corner.

The Forest goalkeeper was unsighted by his own defender in Scott McKenna.

What a start for Conte’s men, wholly against the run of play so far.

4 mins: Johnson looks to be away down the Forest right, but is denied by the offside flag.

Tottenham breaking forward for the first time in the early stages…

3 mins: This is quite some early tempo from Forest, roared on by a raucous home crowd in the East Midlands sunshine.

Brennan Johnson causes all sorts of problems with a great run and Gibbs-White ends up blazing a hopeful effort well over the crossbar.

Tottenham need to ride this early wave and settle into the game.

2 mins: A very fast start from the hosts, with Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris twice called into action early, punching away a free-kick after Davinson Sanchez’s foul on Jesse Lingard before smothering a right-wing cross from Neco Williams.
