Harry Kane: “We delivered from back to front”

[mawspurs]

The north London derby takes us all to the extremes of emotions - a fact not lost on Harry Kane after his goals spearheaded a crucial 3-0 win in the latest N17-N5 clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday night.

The record goalscorer in the derby, Harry took his tally to 13 with a penalty (1-0, 22 minutes) and stooping close-range header (2-0, 37 minutes) as we took complete control with Arsenal also down to 10 men following Rob Holding’s sending off between the goals. Heung-Min Son wrapped it up with the third goal two minutes into the second half.

The way we play back to the GK and around our own box at times, seems we are determined to deliver a goal for the opposition!

The alternative is to bang it up the pitch and we're pretty poor at retaining possession when we do that. Passing it around at the back can be very dull, but it draws the opponents in and makes the pitch bigger. It can of course go badly wrong, but that doesn't happen to us often and overall the pros outweigh the cons. The more we do it, the more confident we get in that situation too.

It's worked well against the top teams (and the gooners) because they are so committed to the way they play, not sure it'll work against Burnley, I think they'll try the Brighton approach, hopefully they won't be able to pull it off like they did

It would seem Arsenal wiped back to front, such was their performance.
