Tottenham's fine start to the 2022/23 Premier League season continued on Sunday as they picked up a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Much like other performances this season, Spurs were not at their free-flowing best, but once again picked up three points to make it 10 from a possible 12 so far this year.
Harry Kane got the goals, one early and one late, while he also missed a penalty, with Dean Henderson making a smart stop. Spurs did not exactly dominate proceedings, but neither did Hugo Lloris have much to do for the visitors.
As ever head coach Antonio Conte was animated on the touchline throughout. And we thought we'd take a look at Tottenham's Conte Cam to see what we could see from the Italian.

Kulusevski makes the wrong call?
Tottenham took an early lead and that meant Forest were always chasing the game. Picking up a loose ball just inside his own half, Dejan Kulusevski sped over halfway and had Son Heung-min and Harry Kane for company.
On the touchline, Conte appeared to be gesturing for Kulusevski to play the ball to his left for Son to go on and have a shot. Instead, Kulusevski played in Kane to his right and the England striker's seemingly scuffed effort found its way past Henderson and into the corner of the net.
Obviously the right decision was made, given Kane scored, but Conte looked like he preferred the pass to go to Son. Kulusevski knew best - this time.
Disappointment with Hugo Lloris
There was one Forest attack that ended with Conte disappointed in his goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris. As Forest countered, a Brennan Johnson ball into the middle was palmed out by Lloris.
It was well seen by the keeper and his diving parry ended at the feet of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The Dane then played the ball back to Lloris calmly, with the Frenchman booting the ball into touch.
Conte was less than impressed with that and can be seen saying: "Come on Hugo," with his arms outstretched.
Conte screaming at Ben Davies
Spurs were awarded a penalty when Ivan Perisic's cross was handled by Steve Cook, with Harry Kane waiting to head home his second goal. But a deliberate handball, denying a goalscoring opportunity did not end with Cook seeing red, despite VAR looking at it.
Instead, Cook got yellow, and Conte made his feelings quite clear on the touchline. From the moment it happened, Conte was calling for a red card to be shown and made sure his players knew that too.
Conte shouted at Ben Davies four times to get his attention, before telling the Welsh defender to tell the referee he should be showing a red card. It made little difference though.
No reaction to penalty miss
Kane is normally Mr Reliable from the penalty spot. Indeed he had scored his previous 21 consecutive spot-kicks.
You can normally rely on the Englishman to find the back of the net from 12 yards, but having saved one spot-kick already this season, Henderson made it a double by denying Kane.
There was no reaction from Conte on the sidelines, even though he must have known it was a big opportunity to kill the game gone. But if Kane is going to miss one, a game where it does not matter is the right one to do it in.
Frustration with Ryan Sessegnon
Ryan Sessegnon was thrown on by Conte late on and he had a great chance to bag an assist. Sent free down the inside left, Sessegnon could and should have picked out Kane on the run to score a second. However, he waited too long and the ball into Kane was blocked out.
It mattered little though, as Richarlison won the loose ball and played a terrific outside-of-the-boot cross into the unmarked Kane to head home and finish Forest off. Conte though was frustrated with Sessegnon and showed it with arms outstretched once more.
He was not the only one, with Perisic up from his spot on the bench to see the moment his new protégé could finish things off. He too had arms outstretched at the failure to find Kane before Richarlison stepped up.
