Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg explains what Tottenham must make sure they do for Harry Kane

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg says Tottenham Hotspur must make sure that they fulfil their responsibility towards Harry Kane to "make sure the scenario for him is the best possible".

The 29-year-old England captain was once again Spurs' match-winner as they overcame Crystal Palace 1-0 on Saturday in the Premier League. That header meant Kane overtook Wayne Rooney as the Premier League's second-highest ever goalscorer on 209 goals. He reached it in just 317 appearances, compared to Rooney's 491 to reach 208 goals.

Just one man has now scored more in the competition than Kane and that is Alan Shearer with his 260 goals in 441 appearances. Now only 51 goals separate the two strikers. This latest goal for Spurs also meant that Kane became the first player to score 10 headed goals in a Premier League season and the only one to net 100 goals in both home and away games in the league.

Reading alone, together is all the rage at book doofs and reading parties. What makes it social?
It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
