Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper believes his side deserved to take something away from Sunday's clash with Tottenham.

Forest went down 2-0 at the City Ground despite being top for portions of the match.

"The overriding feeling will be one of disappointment, because we didn't get anything from the game - and, in the end, results are the most important thing," said Cooper.

"The performance was good, we really took the game to Spurs and stuck to the plan that we wanted to bring to the game; we got them on the back foot, which allowed us to have loads of the ball, get high up the pitch and really get into good areas to threaten the goal.

"But that's what we didn't do. For all of the good play we had, all of the good numbers up the pitch and territory, we didn't then turn it into enough attempts on goal.

"I know that's the hardest thing in the game to do. But we didn't.

"But I won't be narrow-minded enough not to see that there were loads of good things from our game. We just need to keep going with our ideas."
