LONDON. — Harry Kane moved closer to an England call-up by scoring twice as Tottenham Hotspur leapfrogged Arsenal in the English Premier League soccer table with a 2-1 win over their bitter rivals.
Kane has now scored 22 goals this season, and with England manager Roy Hodgson watching, he was the name on everyone’s lips as Spurs claimed victory at a jubilant White Hart Lane on Saturday.
The 21-year-old’s brace enhanced his growing reputation and with Champions League qualification set to go to the wire, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful that Kane will prove the difference.
“Harry showed he is perhaps the best goalscorer in the competition,” Pochettino said after a result that left Spurs below fourth-place Manchester United on goal difference, having played a game more. — AFP.
