HARRY KANE HAS EMERGED AS A “SURPRISE POTENTIAL STRIKER” FOR SHOCK RETURN TO TEAM

The second half was in sharp contrast to the first. A tense and edgy first 45 minutes was a virtual non-event, with the only real chance being a Lucas Digne header that drifted wide of the far post for Villa.

Tottenham stay in fifth but are now just two points behind Villa with a game in hand.

In the first half of the season Spurs were flying, with the catalysing impact of Ange Postecoglou so great that there were even fanciful whispers that they could challenge for the title.

Expectations have recalibrated somewhat now, but to earn Champions League football next season would still be an outstanding achievement given that they sold their talisman and captain Harry Kane on the eve of the Premier League season.

It’s now in their hands, as with a game in hand on Villa they can now go above them. Fifth may be enough if English teams do well enough in European competitions, and Manchester United look unlikely to hook them in for that spot. Postecoglou will want to take any jeopardy out of the equation though, and fourth place is a real possibility. They have a challenging run-in, but with no other distractions Spurs have an open look at ending Postecoglou’s first season in charge with a notable achievement.

It says a lot about the quality of Tottenham’s captain that he can have a virtually invisible first half and still put in a match-winning turn. He teed up two of the goals and thumped in one of his own as Tottenham eviscerated Villa in the second half.
Kane departed from Spurs at the end of the British transfer window, after scoring 213 goals in 317 Premier League games for the London club.

Tottenham faced a major blow in the race to finish in the top four of the Premier League after surprising defeat at the hands of Fulham.

Spurs were comfortably beaten 3-0 by their London rivals with Rodrigo Muniz scoring twice for the hosts. Sasa Lukic added the third to ensure the victory for Fulham.
Harry Kane made a few curiously comments approximately ‘some’ Chief Association environments after he scored for Bayern Munich on his much-anticipated Bundesliga make a big appearance.
The 30-year-old Britain universal, who joined the Bavarians from Goads this month in a detailed £100 million bargain, recorded a brilliant help for Leroy Rational within the fourth miniature of Friday’s clash against Werder Bremen.
Previous Liverpool and Bayern midfielder Didi Hamann lauded Kane’s link-up play from deep, saying:
“Usually what he gives, he’s not fair a goalscorer, he’s got an awfully great eye for his partners and he’s actually exceptionally talented.”
After a strong all-round execution, Kane went on to sack a well-deserved objective on his Bundesliga make a big appearance, when he wrong-footed Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka with a trademark wrap up.
How numerous times have we seen him do this in a long time gone by?
And after the full-time shriek, the previous Goads man touched on a number of subjects in his post-match meet with Sky Sports, counting his choice to drop profound for Sane’s opener at the Weserstadion stadium.
But it was Kane’s comments approximately his ancient stepping ground that got individuals talking.
After being inquired how diverse the encounter was compared to a ordinary Head Association diversion, he said:
“It was extraordinary to be fair.
“The fans from both sides were extraordinary the entire amusement… truly diverse to a few of the Chief Association climates I’ve experienced. Our away fans were astonishing but credit to their fans as well. They were incredible.”
“The Harry Kane impact will not be gone (in the event that we lose),” he said. “It is the way he works in preparing, within the locker room, his polished skill, the way he goes approximately things and how humble he is in preparing, how sharp he is in preparing.
“The way he acts after such a diversion, after a misfortune, he is the primary on the preparing pitch, he works with the save players, he is the one strolling ahead who is motivating others.
“That’s what makes that exchange expense (beneficial), not as it were his goal-scoring record but all the other things as well. That’s what truly makes him a enormous star and all the other identities in don as well, so that’s the Harry Kane impact and why he raises our chances of winning tomorrow enormously.”
Tuchel included:
“Obviously we won’t win each diversion fair since he is there and, indeed when the Harry Kane impact is there in full impact, it still doesn’t mean we’ll win each diversion, but that’s why I was battling for him to come here.
