    Harry Kane will live in the hearts of Tottenham fans as one of their greatest ever goalscorers.

    His numerous golden boots have taken his tally higher than that of Sergio Aguero now with 185 Premier League goals for Spurs.

  • Keep your heads up high

    One thing Antonio Conte will need to manage here at Tottenham as well as his players is expectation of their fans.

    At the end of the first half, Tottenham fans could be heard booing the players off the pitch.

    This is a team who have qualified for Champions League football for the first time in a long time this season.

    Demanding that they steamroll everyone who dare step in front of them is not realistic.

    The players do not need fans turning on them if things aren’t going according to plan but get to behind them.

    Over to you Antonio….

  • Time to make it Conte

    For too long, Tottenham have been the runners-up of football.

    Often giving their fans the feeling that something special is going to happen, only to fall at the final hurdle.

    Now we are not going to say they could win the league, they probably cannot, but a trophy is not outside the realms of possibility this season.

    A domestic cup would appease the fans for a few years more to allow the Conte rebuild to continue.

  • The revolution will not be televised

    Tottenham are top of the Premier League.

    By no means will that game ever be labelled a classic but Harry Kane has reached the milestone of being the Premier League’s highest scorer with one club.

    Having not created much over the course of the 90 minutes, Spurs took their chance and got themselves the three points.

    Bruno Lage take note.
