Recently, Tottenham was in a series of crises. Starting from the 20th round match against Liverpool, he was pushed down to 8th place after falling into a pit of 3 consecutive losses. In particular, as Kane fell into injury, a frustrating flow of attacks continued. Tottenham have only scored one goal in the last three games.
In the meantime, Tottenham’s crisis could have continued as Kane was expected to take several more days to recover from injury. But unexpectedly, Kane returned from injury and started starting, and showed enormous influence throughout the game, driving the team’s victory.
On this day, Kane created a threatening scene from the beginning of the game. In the 14th minute of the first half, a powerful shot struck the goal, and in the 36th minute, a surprise effective shot was recorded. Eventually, in the 8th minute of the second half, Kane received a pass from Hoivier and scored the opening goal by splitting the net. In the 13th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min played the starting point of a counterattack in the scoring process, giving the team victory.
Of course, the praise for Kane did not cease. After the game, coach Mourinho praised him, saying, “Kane is a special player in the history of the club. He will be able to break all records. Today’s performance was very good.”

British’BBC’ said, “With Kane’s return, Tottenham pushed his opponent with a much more aggressive appearance from the beginning compared to the last two games. His influence is great.” At the time, he maintained a 56% win rate, but when he was not there, it was only 41%. The average score per game fell from 1.9 goals to 1.2 goals.
Meanwhile, Kane wore a Tottenham uniform and scored 208 goals. Along with this, he tied for second place in the club’s history after Jimmy Greaves.
