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.

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.

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.

Harry Kane played a central role as Tottenham secured back-to-back Premier League wins on Sunday, scoring twice and missing a penalty.

Only one manager finished above Mauricio Pochettino that year and he is now in the Spurs dugout himself. In fact, this is now Tottenham’s best four-game start to a league campaign since the runners-up finish in 2016-17. Still waiting for his first goal of the new campaign, last season’s joint-winner of the Golden Boot is “suffering” due to his drought, Conte said. Home defeats to Southampton and Wolves have each been converted into wins, while rather than losing at Stamford Bridge, Spurs took a creditable point. And though you would struggle to describe Forest’s dominance of possession as comfortable for Tottenham, it was hardly uncomfortable for them either. A glance at the xG charts tells an interesting story, even after stripping out Kane’s penalty, with Forest’s 0.85 compared to Tottenham’s 1.42. “In the first half we didn’t use our midfielders a lot. “We really took the game to Spurs, got into good areas to threaten the goal. And surprisingly, it was the newly-promoted side rather than their Champions League-calibre opponents that dominated the ball. [Tottenham](/topic/tottenham-hotspur)’s start to the season, it is worth recalling how they began the last. Like against Chelsea and Wolves before, a slow first half had to be improved upon after the break. A top-four finish is the expectation rather than a mere ambition.

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte was impressed by the fight shown by his team, as Harry Kane hit his 200th career league goal against Nottingham Forest.

"It's important those players who haven't started games yet to be ready for their opportunity. “It’s always a sporting war. We have to trust in ourselves. We have to continue in this way, it’s not easy, another clean sheet and we scored two goals,” Conte told BBC Sport. Premier League It’s important in the Premier League to try to get three points in every game.

Harry Kane scored twice, either side of Dean Henderson's spot-kick save, to give Spurs a 2-0 victory at Nottingham Forest.

There was still time for Forest to knock at the door, for Tottenham to squander more breakaways, for Richarlison to enrage the crowd with a little showboating and get a cathartic body slam from Brennan Johnson. But when the play is broken and the threats are multiple and every fraction of a second counts, they still look a little startled. The substitute Richarlison won the ball from Neco Williams on the left wing and teased a delightful cross over for Kane, who finished the game with a simple header. It was Tottenham’s first attack of the game, and pretty much their last of the half. There was plenty of possession and plenty of enthusiasm, as Steve Cooper’s team got at Tottenham the way most teams will try to get at Tottenham this season: flood the midfield, quickly spread the play, pressure the penalty box with crosses and shots from distance. On the pitch, Henderson wore a baseball cap to block out the evening sun.

Son is one of the best players in the Premier League. Conte has yet to inject his new signings into starting roles, so there is more to come from the team over the course of the season. Richarlison will have his role too, but he's not likely to overtake Son or Kulusevski. The squad that we have now, Richarlison whenever he's had a chance to play, whenever he's trained, he's done really, really well. But Kane isn't worried about Son at this stage of the season. Son didn't have the impact he hoped to have.
