Antonio Conte hailed Harry Kane’s ‘amazing’ performance after Tottenham’s 5-1 win over Newcastle on Sunday. The Spurs striker didn’t score but did provide an assist for Matt Doherty’s header which gave them a 2-1 lead shortly after half time.
Antonio Conte said:“His performance was amazing. I said to him at the end of the game ‘it was a shame he didn’t score’, but he played fantastic and made an assist. To have this type of player in your team makes you strong, having him in our side is very important. I like the person, first of all, sometimes players with great talent don’t work hard. Before a great player, he’s a great mate. He has been an example since the first day. Usually when you are a top player, sometimes you are a bit lazy, but this is what I like is that he is a big example for his teammates.”
Kane will need to maintain his scintillating form if Spurs are to finish fourth and bring Champions League football back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Next up for Conte’s side is a trip to Aston Villa on April 9.
