Yves Bissouma N/A – Little of note to report. Getty Images

NOTTINGHAM FOREST RATINGS: Dean Henderson 8 – Arguably could have made more of an effort to get to Kane’s opener, but his penalty stop against the England captain certainly made amends. Seldom put a put wrong in the second half. Getty Images

Joe Worrall 7 – Did pick up a yellow card for a late challenge on Son, but that aside, the defender was impressive throughout. Saved a certain goal when making a last-ditch tackle on Kane. PA

Steve Cook 5 – Gave away a penalty and picked up a yellow card for a desperate handball which prevented Kane from heading home at the back post. The former Bournemouth man lacked composure when the pressure was on. AFP

Scott McKenna 6 – Struggled to deal with the movement of the Spurs front three, but settled as the game wore on. Getty Images

Neco Williams 7 – Looked threatening when he was able to advance forward from the right side, although such opportunities were rare. Promising signs from the summer signing. Getty Images

Ryan Yates 6 – Kept things neat and tidy for the most part, only lacking a bit of cutting edge in the final third. Was subbed off at the hour mark. Getty Images

Lewis O’Brien 6 – Defensively sound, helping to break up opposition counters. Faded a tad in the second half, however, which saw him replaced late on. Getty Images

Harry Toffolo 7- Impressive in the final third, much like his fellow wing-back on the other side. Whipped in a handful of teasing crosses which sadly didn’t amount to anything substantial. Getty Images

Morgan Gibbs-White 7 – Very bright early on, as he constantly looked for potential openings when in possession. Very nearly played Johnson clean through on goal, if it wasn’t for some superb goalkeeping from Lloris. Getty Images

Jesse Lingard 6 – His quietest game in a Forest shirt so far. The 29-year-old drifted out of the match too often, partially thanks to the way the Spurs backline tracked his movement. PA

Brennan Johnson 7 – Very threatening in the first half, before fading late on. Continues to showcase his intelligent movement and sharp link-up play on the biggest of stages. Getty Images

SUBS: Emmanuel Dennis 7 – Brought some much-needed energy to the Forest attack in the final 30 minutes, even if his end product left much to be desired. Getty Images

Taiwo Awoniyi 6 – Hardly touched the ball after coming on, with the home side starving the forward of the crosses he thrives on. Getty Images

Remo Freuler 6 – Looked good in possession and tried to make things happen in the closing stages as Forest piled the pressure on. Getty Images

Cheikhou Kouyate 5 – Defensively poor, having failed to pick Kane up at the far post when the England man headed home to make it 2-0. Getty Images

Sam Surridge NA – came on with a handful of minutes remaining. PA

TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris 7 – Made some fine interventions, namely when rushing out of his goal to deny Johnson who was clean through. Distribution aside, the Frenchman was very solid. PA

Eric Dier 6 – Improved as the game went on following a slightly shaky start. Not a vintage outing, but enough to help the London club close out the match with a clean sheet. Getty Images

Davinson Sanchez 7 – Made one or two excellent blocks, and was alert to the danger at set pieces. The Colombian looked more assured in the Spurs backline today compared to previous games. Getty Images

Ben Davies 7 – Kept things simple with his distribution and denied Jesse Lingard the space he craved when his side didn’t have the ball. A reliable performer, which the Welshman once again showed this afternoon. Getty Images

Emerson Royal 7 – Energetic and dynamic down the right-hand side, proving to be a real thorn in the side of Forest with his overlapping runs. PA

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 7 – Struggled at times to retain the ball effectively, but his work rate was exemplary. Turned the ball over very well in the second half. Getty Images

Rodrigo Bentancur 7 – Read the game beautifully from a defensive standpoint, blocking and intercepting at crucial moments when Forest had their tails up. A very mature display. Getty Images

Ivan Perisic 6 – Not quite at his clinical best today, but his contributions were still important. Still looks slightly uncomfortable playing in Antonio Conte’s system. Getty Images

Dejan Kulusevski 8 – Played a crucial role in Spurs’ opener and looked like the liveliest player on the pitch for much of the game. Was replaced midway through the second half. Getty Images

Harry Kane 8 – The England captain may have missed a penalty, but he still managed to bag a fine brace. Rolled the ball into the corner of the net for the opener, before heading home from close range in the dying minutes. A true match-winning performance. Reuters

Son Heung-min 7 – The forward’s pace and movement had the Forest defenders scrambling at times. Got in behind the opposition backline on a handful of occasions but was unusually hesitant in front of goal. AFP

Richarlison 7 – A chaotic cameo, as ever. The Brazilian set-up Kane’s second goal with a delightful outside-of-the-boot cross, before jugging the ball in his own half and getting badly fouled. All in a day’s work. Getty Images

Ryan Sessegnon 6 – Fairly wasteful in possession, especially in the final third. Getty Images

Djed Spence N/A – Had a half chance to score in the final minutes but the former Forest man scuffed his shot. Reuters

Yves Bissouma N/A – Little of note to report. Getty Images
