Three Monaco stats Spurs fans need to know before tomorrow’s game
Kane scored two goals in 160 seconds to clinch a dramatic 3-2 win against West Ham on Saturday and then declared himself ready to play at Monaco and in next weekend’s game at Chelsea.
“I’m happy at the club”, said Kane after scoring twice in the last three minutes to secure a 3-2 win over West Ham.
Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world, says Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Kane’s status among Tottenham fans is unparalleled and his contribution on the pitch has been huge since breaking into the first team in 2014.
Harry Kane remains Tottenham’s talisman.
The Hammers’ problems in adjusting to the London Stadium have, however, surely been less significant than those on the pitch, not least their struggles in front of goal where still not one of the club’s strikers has scored in 18 matches this season. He is a very important player for us.
They did not reckon with the intervention of Kane, who demonstrated his poachers’ instinct to equalise on the rebound when substitute Son Heung-min had a shot saved by Darren Randolph.
They equalised through youngster Harry Winks, who lashed in the rebound after Vincent Janssen’s shot was blocked on his full English Premier League debut.
Rose will give his all for Tottenham against Monaco, knowing that he is suspended for the trip to Chelsea on Saturday after being shown a fifth yellow card of the season against West Ham.
“It’s a game that we must win, but we need to find a way how”, Pochettino said.
“But there is no team that can keep to the same level for 10 months”, the Argentinian added. West Ham made it tough for us.
Lloris said: “At the moment we are in a bad situation in the group because of our home games”.
First, by scoring two goals in two minutes to swing this gripping London derby back into the home side’s favour, and second by insisting he is happy at the club and wants to remain a Spurs player for a “long, long time”. “Maybe it wasn’t our best game but sometimes it is hard an aggressive team with a good plan”.
But, in the final minute, Kane was on hand to finish Son Heung-Min’s low cross before scoring the victor from the penalty spot after Son had been tripped by Winston Reid.
West Ham regained the lead after 68 minutes, Lanzini converting from 12 yards after Dean penalised Janssen for holding Reid.
