West Ham 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur
Paul Donovan reports from the London Stadium
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino heaped praise on two-goal striker Harry Kane on Saturday, declaring him to be “one of the best strikers in the world.”
“I find it hard to find the words to describe him. I am in love, like the fans are in love, like his teammates are in love,” said Pochettino. “He is so humble, he keeps all the values that managers like me appreciate a lot.”
Even West Ham manager Slaven Bilic briefly joined the Kane love-in, admitting that his three centre backs Jose Fonte, Angelo Ogbonna and Winston Reid “had really good games and still Kane got two goals. That’s how good he is.”
