Forest deserved the win and hit the post in the first half through Taiwo Awoniyi, with Lingard and Joe Worrall also going close as Spurs produced another subpar first-half display. But after the break, Lodi headed home from close range past Fraser Forster before Lingard completed another counter-attack for the home side with a header from close range minutes later. Forest saw Orel Mangala sent off 15 minutes from time for two bookable offenses and substitute Richarlison, who replaced Harry Kane through injury, saw a goal disallowed for offside as Spurs tried to mount a comeback. Picture: Antonio Conte reacts as Tottenham are knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Nottingham Forest This competition was a credible chance for Antonio Conte’s men to end their trophy drought, but this was a dismal display. Tottenham showed their intent by naming a strong squad, with no hint of a rest for Harry Kane, who has started every game this season. Forest made nine changes but started strongly and could have taken the lead inside the first 10 minutes. Davinson Sanchez’s attempted clearance fell to Awoniyi and the ball went past Forster onto the post, with the Spurs keeper forced to stretch across goal to keep out Lingard’s header from the rebound. It was another underwhelming start from Spurs, who have been plagued by poor first-half performances recently, and Forest continued to press as Lingard had an effort deflected away and then Forster saved at a point from Worrall. Spurs managed to get into the game, although they never really threatened before the break, except when Ivan Perisic’s cross found its way to Matt Doherty at the far post and the Irishman’s first-time effort was beaten away by Wayne Hennessey. Image: Nottingham Forest’s Renan Lodi celebrates after scoring against Tottenham Conte’s men, now eight games without a first-half goal, would have been hoping for their usual strong display after the break, but it was not to be as Forest started strongly. Lingard stung Forster’s palms before making a major breakthrough in the 50th minute. Forest won possession back high up the pitch and played the ball to Lodi, who was allowed to run on goal and cut inside, before curling a superb finish into the far corner. The home side were rampant and only an excellent stop with his feet from Forster denied Sam Surridge a second. But there was no stopping Forest as Lingard finally got his first goal for the club in the 57th minute, nodding in from close range after Serge Aurier’s cross had been headed across goal by Serge. Image: Lingard applauds the fans after the match Kane was immediately withdrawn in an apparently premeditated change which did little to help Spurs’ comeback chances. Forest’s night was marred by Mangala’s red card in the 76th minute as he picked up a second yellow card for slashing Richarlison. It did not prove costly, however, as Spurs could not recover, with Richarlison seeing an effort ruled out for offside.
Conte: Kane is really, really tired
Use Chrome browser for more accessible video player Tottenham manager Antonio Conte reveals why he decided to risk Harry Kane in their Carabao Cup clash against Nottingham Forest ahead of the World Cup. Antonio Conte has admitted England captain Harry Kane is “really, really tired” less than a week before England fly to the World Cup. He was withdrawn after 59 minutes, with his side 2-0 down, in an apparently premeditated move, but the Three Lions captain has played all but 33 minutes of Tottenham’s 12 games in the last 39 days. Conte revealed Kane was withdrawn from training on Tuesday to conserve energy but is far from ideal with England’s campaign in Qatar starting on November 21, followed by another Premier League game on Saturday. “With Harry, until this morning we were waiting to see if he could start or not,” said the Italian. “But in this situation, he was the only striker for us. For this reason, I can only say thank you for the availability they show me. Image: Harry Kane played 59 minutes at Nottingham Forest “It was a fatigue problem. Really, really tired and yesterday we had a gentle workout and at one point he stopped himself to regain energy. “But it’s ok, it’s just tiredness but it’s normal because Harry played every game. When you have a player like him, it’s hard to decide not to play with him. “Other players might say to me, ‘I’m tired and I don’t want to play and help the team.’ I have a group of players who are men and good players because of that. “Someone else could be selfish and think to themselves why in a week they have to play the World Cup. On the contrary, Harry Kane has shown that he is a very good person. “Today was very difficult if Kane said to me, ‘maybe it’s better not to start today because I’m at high risk of injury’. But I repeat, it’s normal what happens at this time.” Lingard, meanwhile, has had an underwhelming start to his Forest career following his surprise free transfer in the summer and hadn’t scored or assisted in his first 12 appearances – but he put it on a night to remember at the City Ground. The former Manchester United forward headed home from close range in the second half seven minutes after Lodi’s opener. Boss Steve Cooper said: “I thought he was outstanding. He scored one with his head and could have scored another with his head. I thought his positional play was good. He occupied spaces and found spaces very well. “And, more importantly, he did what you want your offensive players to do – you want them to be a threat and have an end product. “He did that, not just with the goal, but some of his final passes and link-up play were also very good. I’m very pleased with him tonight, as with everyone else.”
