Two for Kane as Tottenham win at West Ham

The 29-year-old is not a creator, nor is he a player who can threaten defenders through skill.

“Despite their poor start to the season, West Ham have picked up since the global break, picking up four points and back-to-back clean sheets”.

“[Spurs] are very good at the back”. To help him is to help the team. He said: “Okay, he is not playing closest to opponents goal but then we are playing with those three strikers, he is not playing wide”. The communication is important and we have very good communication. They’re one of the “it” teams in the Premier League this season, but despite their successes they have yet to seem to actually find their top form. Always he is so important and he shares the decision.

After a bad start to the season, West Ham have not conceded in three games and kick-started their season with a 2-0 win over Huddersfield.

Pochettino explained that managing Dembele, like all the players, was not formulaic because there are so many human factors, as well as football factors, to consider.

“It is only natural what happened to them”, he said.

“A derby, just like when we play Arsenal or Chelsea, is not only a game”.

Cheikhou Kouyate scored the second goal for West Ham three minutes before the end of the game, but his side failed to equalise.

But now Pochettino must contend with the added weight of playing at Wembley while White Hart Lane is redeveloped and so far it’s proved hard to say the least.

At his post-match press conference Pochettino was asked if Kane was the best striker in England, and the Argentine manager went one step farther. But he loves Tottenham and wants to play here for a long time.

Slaven Bilic has a few major injury concerns to contend with ahead of the visit of Tottenham on Saturday. He’s not the type of manager to chase a result. He deserved all the praise and our decision [paid off].

But for me, the player that stood out was left-back, turned left wing-back, turned left midfielder Antonee Robinson.

Unfortunately for those from the east of the City I think you have to fancy Spurs for this one. Obviously the wing backs will have more defensive responsibilities than usual if Bilic throws caution to the wind. The last time Tottenham lost away from home was that fateful day at the London Stadium in May.
