Former Tottenham Hotspur winger David Ginola likened Harry Kane to Diego Maradona after his sparkling performance in the weekend’s victory against Newcastle United. Antonio Conte’s men earned an emphatic victory despite falling behind, running out 5-1 victors and injecting fresh optimism into their fight for Champions League football.
Whilst Kane himself did not manage to get on the scoresheet, he was still key to the win. The 28-year-old was on hand to find Matt Doherty as Spurs edged ahead just after the break, whilst his ability to drop deep and receive the ball was also widely praised.
After Spurs had managed to stage their turnaround, they continued their relentless pursuit of goals as the likes of Emerson Royal, Son Heung-Min and Steven Bergwijn all managed to find the net. It was Kane who earned the praise from Ginola after the game.
