I’ve Silenced My Doubters, Says Kane
The 22-year-old Kane was one of the revelations of last season finding the back of the net 31 times but, before the City game, had failed to score in eight appearances in all competitions for Spurs this campaign, leading some pundits and fans to question whether his feats last term were a one-off.
“Only seven games and a few people said one-season wonder”.
When you“re scoring it ” s like a drug and, once someone takes it away from you, you want to get that back”.
“I’m very pleased for him“, Kane said in quotes reported by the Hackney Gazette.
TOBY ALDERWEIRELD (Tottenham) – A Belgian defender who turned his back on a move to Southampton last summer as he opted to join Spurs instead and he has settled well at the heart of their defence.
“He’s taken some criticism over the past year or so but since he’s come in he’s shown, especially this season, what a player he can be”.
City had every right to feel aggrieved that Kane’s goal – a follow-up after Christian Eriksen’s free kick hit the woodwork – and Eric Dier’s equaliser were offside. I don’t think he’s got the best team in the world and I don’t think they’ll finish in the top four. “Obviously, I am delighted to get the goal and hopefully I can build on this now”. But Kane, even when failing to find the target, was always looking very lively.
Sunderland looked to have turned a corner with their draw at Villa and narrow defeat to Spurs, but this looks like being a very long season for them and manager Advocaat will have to act quickly to stop his team being cast adrift. The most important thing is we are winning games.
“It has to be something on a regular basis and this will give us a lot of confidence”.
“But we can not get too carried away”. He’s a more complete forward than that – and other aspects of his game might only be appreciated now he’s in goalscoring form again.
Tottenham will take on Monaco in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
This weekend in the Premier League saw two of the best strikers in the league finally score their first goals in the league season.
“We’ve learned from previous year and that’s what we’re trying to do, we’re trying to get better and better, and we can’t fade off for the next few games”. “That’s rare and it’s a tribute to the management and staff for bringing them through and not being afraid to play them”, added Kane. We had a good start, we want to keep positive, want to keep thinking about it. “It’s great to share that with the English players but everyone’s great in our squad, everyone’s focused on what we need to do”.
The England Under-21 worldwide had been a revelation in the Premier League, with his hat-trick at West Ham standing out, and the Cherries will struggle to replace his goals and all-round impact.
