Harry Kane says he wants to score four more goals against Hull City to clinch the Premier League Golden Boot after his masterful display in Tottenham’s thrashing of Leicester City.
Spurs finish an impressive season at relegated Hull on Sunday, with second place behind champions Chelsea already secure.
He added: “I am sure he is not too happy!”
“Lukaku will have had sleepless nights since Kane’s masterclass at the King Power Stadium. I’ll go to Hull looking to get four more hopefully”. “They know and understand why we didn’t achieve our goal”.
“This trophy matters enormously to strikers”.
Victor Wanyama headed the ball back across goal to find Kane, who nodded in his second of the night and 24th of the season in the 63rd minute. “We feel so proud of Harry, to score four goals was fantastic”, Sport24 quoted Pochettino as saying. But then it’s all about if you pay or not when we talk about top players.
Son Heung-mins’s double ensured that three Tottenham players, together with Kane and Dele Alli, have reached 20 goals in a campaign for the first time in the club’s history.
Asked if the Scotland chief should be anxious about facing Kane on June 10, Spurs boss Pochettino said: “Of course”.
“Going into the game two behind, I was hoping to get one or two last night and keep myself in the race for Sunday, so to get four and win 6-1, I couldn’t have dreamed of that”.
Kane has now scored seven times against Leicester, which is more than any other opponent he has faced.
Lloris made a hash of his clearance as he came rushing out of the penalty area, allowing Wilfred Ndidi to feed Chilwell, who composed himself and slotted home for his first senior goal as the Spurs goalkeeper slipped attempting to get back.
“I think there were three games I did not score in [at the start of the season] and then I went on a good run”.
Pochettino has been highly impressed by the progress and consistency of his forward, who led the way with 25 top-flight goals last term and has scored 70 goals in his last 90 league outings.
Before the match, it looked unlikely that Kane would be challenging for the award being two goals behind Lukaku.
Shakespeare also challenged his players to make amends by ending the season with victory over Bournemouth, which would allow them to finish in the top half of the table.
