Harry Kane has lauded Pape Matar Sarr and Oliver Skipp for their "outstanding" performances in Tottenham's Champions League Round of 16 defeat against AC Milan. Without Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg through suspension and Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma out injured, Antonio Conte turned to the Tottenham youngsters in their hour of need.
Amid some concerns over how they would fare due to their lack of experience in the Champions League, Sarr and Skipp were Spurs' best two players on the night in the 1-0 loss. Showing everyone that they can play a big part for the team right now, Kane says the youngsters "should be proud" of how they performed against the Italian giants.
"I though they were both outstanding to be honest. It's not easy to come into the team, two young players who have not got as much experience as some of the others and to come in in this sort of atmosphere and game and perform the way they did, they should be proud," said Kane after Tottenham's defeat at the San Siro.
