Harry Kane admits he is very delighted to surpass Jermain Defoe to be the fifth highest goal scorer for Tottenham Hotspur.

Kane’s well deserved brace inspired his side to a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town as Spurs move to the fourth position in the Premier League table.

Kane headed home from a Kieran Trippier cross to hammer a severe blow to the Terriers. He then doubled the advantage from the spot after Danny Rose was fouled inside the penalty box by Florent Hadergjonaj. Kane had an underwhelming few weeks as he had been going through a rough patches.

But the English international seems to have shrugged off his initial difficulties and is looking more sharper and hungrier.

Kane said, “Jermain – I learned a lot from him when I came through.

“I used to watch him score week in week out and it’s nice to go above him.

“We’ll have a bit of banter when I see him and it’s fantastic to be above him now.”

He Went on to add, “Penalties are something I practice a lot in the week so happy to see one go in,

“I feel confident, keep practicing and hopefully keep scoring.

“They played well and made it tough on a dry pitch, they went long and with the wind it was a fight. The first goal was important and the second came not too long after. We had some chances to finish it off in the second half, but a fantastic clean sheet and a good win.”
