Kane double secure Tottenham victory

In-form striker Harry Kane scored twice as 10-man Tottenham made it through a late fightback from West Ham to move up to third in the Premier League.

Kane’s header and also reduced strike offered the visitors a 2-0 half-time lead before midfielder Christian Eriksen fired residence the 3rd in the 60th minute.

The Hammers had actually been disjointed as well as jaded to that factor, yet 5 mins later Mexico ahead Javier Hernandez responded in from close quarters.

Tottenham wing-back Serge Aurier was then shown a 2nd yellow card 20 minutes from time for a late tackle on Andy Carroll.

West Ham made their numerical advantage matter when Cheikhou Kouyate powered in an amazing cross from substitute Arthur Masuaku with three minutes left.

However, the Hammers – that are 17th – cannot evaluate the Spurs goal once again as they shed for the fourth time in the league this season.

“Sometimes it is good to suffer a bit as it means you are alive,” said Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino after the game.

“We suffered but we fought. We played well and deserved to win the game.

“It means more than three points. We played for our pride and the emotion of our fans and I’m happy for my players.”
