Tottenham’s Harry Kane downs Huddersfield with a brace

Following an impressive start to life in Premier League, Huddersfield are without a win in their last four league games as they prepare to welcome Tottenham at The John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday.

Alli, who is under a one-game suspension (National side) for a offensive gesture, dived in a bid to win a penalty but thankfully, referee Neil Swarbrick had a clear view of the action and correctly gave the Spurs player a yellow card.

The game began to become disjointed, with the hosts unable to produce the creativity needed to unlock the Spurs defence, while the away side seemed happy to rest on their laurels after doing all the hard work in the first half.

“It’s not coming as an ex-Arsenal man, it’s just a reality sometimes”. “His energy is fantastic”, Pochettino said.

TALKING POINT: Is Harry Kane the best striker in Europe right now?

Each team played six matches in the Premier League 2017 – 2018. From the three different competitions such as Champions League, Premier League, and Carabao Cup, they won four matches out of their past five. Hopefully this form carries over into the next stretch of games, which includes the two against Madrid, plus Liverpool, West Ham, and at United.

The Colombian worldwide did step up in the second half though and played his part in a domiant defensive display as a team from Tottenham. “I’m just there to put them away”.

This fruition became clear last weekend with the Ivory Coast global nearly costing his team a much-needed win over rivals West Ham, and following the incident his Argentine manager branded the defender’s decision to needlessly risk another booking ‘disappointing’. His second goal made it 3-0 and came in the 23rd minute, with Kane turning his marker off a throw-in and calmly curling into the far corner from outside the area. He miskicks and the ball slips into Kane’s path. Davies also defended really well though with him keeping the likes of Thomas Ince on the Huddersfield wing very quiet.

The Spurs boss will firstly have to decide which starting XI to pick with Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko potentially battling for one spot in the centre of midfield alongside Eric Dier.

However, former Liverpool star Lawrenson is backing Tottenham to have too much for Huddersfield and is tipping the north London side to secure a comfortable victory.

“(They were) recognising one of the best players in England and his country love him, that is so important”, said Pochettino.
