Harry Kane has revealed that Oliver Skipp's hard work on the training pitch has paid off following his first Tottenham goal in Sunday's 2-0 win over Chelsea. Handed another start in midfield with Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma currently on the sidelines, the England Under-21 international opened the scoring seconds after half-time with a thunderous strike from distance.
Getting the better of Joao Felix on the edge of the box to come out with the ball after Chelsea had managed to partially clear their lines following Emerson Royal's shot, Skipp let fly and his powerful effort found the back of the net via the underside of the crossbar. The midfielder duly ran off to the far corner to celebrate his first goal for the club, with all of his teammates quickly sprinting over to congratulate him on the landmark occasion.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Skipp did indicate that the team have been working hard in training when it comes to winning second balls on the edge of the area and then finishing the chances.
