JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte admitted that it was difficult for his team to secure a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the 4th week of the Premier League at City Ground Stadium, Nottinghamshire, Sunday.

Quoted from Antara, Conte said his team was a good win, moreover Nottingham Forest gave Tottenham Hotspur a fierce resistance.

"Forest have started the season well, they won here against West Ham, drew at Everton and we know very well that playing in this stadium is very noisy," Conte said.

"At the same time, our fans are very important to differentiate this noise. Getting three points is very good, but we know very well that we have to keep working and keep going."

The Italian coach explained that in the first half Tottenham had difficulty playing under pressure a little hesitant to play the ball.

Conte explained that this made a slight number of passes that occurred in midfield where it was a practice that they had been doing in the past week.

"In the second half, we performed much better. In the second half we dominated the game, scored a second goal and could have scored again with Harry, but I don't think he failed to execute a penalty. The goalkeeper made a fantastic save. In the end it was okay," explained Conte.

"It's not easy here, we know very well. Now, we have another game on Wednesday against West Ham, then Saturday, so every player has to rest to recover, do it well and be ready, because it will be another'sport war' against West Ham."

In this match Tottenham managed to secure victory thanks to two goals scored by striker Harry Kane after using bait from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison. The Lilywhites will host West Ham on Wednesday the day after tomorrow local time.
