Kane received a pass with his back to goal at the edge of the area, swiveled and curled a shot into the bottom corner for his 266th goal for Tottenham, putting him level with the late Jimmy Greaves.

The finish was classic Kane as he moved to 15 league goals for the season, and 199 in his career. It is shaping up to be his most prolific season yet even if his scoring exploits have been overshadowed by those of Manchester City바카라s Erling Haaland, who already has 25 league goals to his name in his first year in English soccer.

The goal in first-half stoppage time settled a scrappy game that kicked off about 20 minutes late because of traffic problems in southwest London.

Tottenham stayed fifth but narrowed the gap to fourth-place Manchester United in the race for Champions League qualification.

Third-place Newcastle is also three points clear of Tottenham, which has played one game more.

After Tottenham바카라s back-to-back losses, to Arsenal then Manchester City, Kane said the players held a meeting with manager Antonio Conte and 바카라talked amongst ourselves about getting back to what we are good at.바카라

바카라We just wanted to get back to basics,바카라 the England captain said. 바카라Clean sheets are important for us if we want to stay in the (fight for the) Champions League spots.

바카라We have to get back to what got us in the Champion League last year.바카라

Conte said he told his players he wanted them to be harder to beat and that they had responded well. The Italian coach looked emotional as he punched the air in front of Tottenham바카라s traveling supporters after the final whistle.

바카라Today we showed again that when we play as a team, it바카라s difficult to play against us,바카라 Conte said.

바카라Now we have 17 games (left) and today has to be a stepping stone and try to give everything and see what happens. We have to stay in the race for the Champions League.바카라
