Harry Kane explains how Tottenham can solve one big attacking problem against Burnley

Harry Kane has offered a solution to how Tottenham Hotspur can solve their attacking issues against sides that sit back when Burnley come to town on Sunday afternoon.

The 28-year-old scored twice on Thursday night in Spurs' crucial 3-0 north London derby win, which puts them just a point behind Arsenal with two games to go. In the past fortnight Tottenham have taken seven points from a possible nine against Leicester, Liverpool and the Gunners - teams that push forward - however, they took just one point from their previous two matches against Brighton and Brentford, who both gave them less space to operate in behind them as they failed to register a single shot on target.

Burnley are likely to bring a similar game plan and Spurs lost 1-0 at Turf Moor in February, struggling to break down the Clarets, who were then managed by Sean Dyche. Kane believes the only solution to preventing days when shots and chances are hard to come by is simply by showing more movement.
