#PLStories- Harry Kane believes AFC Bournemouth are in the Premier League for a reason #THFC

November 1, 2022
ENGLAND skipper Harry Kane saw his Spurs side pick themselves up off the canvas to beat Cherries 3-2 before declaring: “They are in the Premier League for a reason.” The Tottenham talisman saw his charges fall two goals behind at Vitality Stadium thanks to a brace from Kieffer Moore – a man he could come up against when the Three Lions take on Wales in the World Cup on November 29. But goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies and Rodrigo Bentancur’s late effort eventually saw Spurs emerge winners in the dying embers of the clash on the south coast. Speaking to the Daily Echo post-match, Kane gave full credit to the way Cherries took the game to the north London side in the opening hour. Asked whether heading to Cherries proved a difficult task, Kane replied: “Yeah, for sure. “They are in the Premier League for a reason, they are a really good side and have picked up some good results this year. “We knew it would be a tough game, obviously them going 2-0 ahead was credit to them. “I think this season there are loads and loads of good teams, I think it’s really tight all the way through really. “The middle pack has got better, so it’s going to be interesting to see how everyone unfolds towards the end of the season. “All I know is every game in the Premier League is tough and Saturday was no different.” He added: “It was great to get the win, of course. “Areas we could improve for sure but great character, especially when we have been in a tough period, is really pleasing. It leads us up nicely for the rest of the week.” Defeat to Spurs left the Dorset outfit without a point in their past three games under Gary O’Neil. Prior to that, the former West Ham and Portsmouth midfielder had masterminded a six-game unbeaten run following the sacking of Scott Parker. Asked about the job done by O’Neil from the outside, Kane said: “He’s done great, credit to him obviously coming in. “He had six games or so and turned their results around but it’s tough. The Premier League is tough, you are playing great opposition every week. “They are going to come up against some good teams but they have been doing well this season, so fair play to them.” Cherries’ next test comes with a trip to Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday. Crysencio Summerville’s late goal saw Leeds claim a dramatic 2-1 win at Liverpool last time out to ease the pressure on head coach Jesse Marsch.

#PLStories- Tottenham’s Harry Kane on England and his goal at Brighton #THFC

October 11, 2022
Albion endured their first home defeat in seven months after Harry Kane’s first half goal secured the victory for Spurs. But the England captain was full of praise for the Seagulls. Kane produced a delicate flick on Saturday after Son Heung-Min whipped a dangerous cross in for Kane to nod past Robert Sanchez. The visitors were made to work for the three points as Albion again went head to toe with one of the top teams, as they controlled large parts of the game. Kane said: “Brighton are a really good side. “They had their fair share of shots as well from the edge of the box, so overall just a really good three points.” Albion have faced four of last season’s top seven already, winning away at West Ham and Manchester United, drawing at Anfield and then they gave Spurs a real test. They are certainly not a roll over for any side. Roberto De Zerbi’s side got themselves in good positions constantly and were really testing the concentration of the Spurs defence. But they lacked that final pass or finish to put the ball past Hugo Lloris. Matt Doherty had to really defend well up against Leandro Trossard and then Kaoru Mitoma. The Irishman admitted Brighton gained control in the second half. He said: “We lost a bit of control in terms of our forward momentum and invited them on but we managed to just hold out.” Despite a good performance from Danny Welbeck, the hosts lacked that killer instinct that Antonio Conte’s side had at the other end. Kane had two chances throughout the game and scored one that ultimately secured the three points for his side. The academy graduate scored his eighth goal in nine games this season, his best ever start to a premier league season. The striker said: “I feel good, obviously really nice to be scoring in most of the games and especially when they turn out to be winning goals like today. It is always great to help the team in that way.” Albion fans would have been devastated losing the game to a goal from Kane but come December they will be hoping to see him doing the same in an England shirt. The England captain said: “As a striker, you want to be in a good rhythm coming up to a major tournament, there has been times where I have and times where I have not, and I have still managed to do well for England in those moments.” “’The World Cup is going to come so thick and fast, and we have got so many games before it, I need to try not to think about it but hopefully once it comes will be ready.”

#PLStories- Brighton boss praises Tottenham star Harry Kane for being best footballer and not just a striker #THFC #BHAFC

March 16, 2022
ALBION boss Graham Potter believes that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in Premier League history. Potter is preparing his side to take on Kane and co when they welcome Spurs to the Amex Stadium tomorrow night. After struggling at the start of the season, Kane is now back to his dangerous self as he has now racked up 11 goals and three assists in his 26 Premier League appearances. Tottenham Hotspur Harry Kane Albion defenders Lewis Dunk and Joel Veltman will have to be on their best form to contain the current England captain from finding the net, should Potter pick the same centre-back pairing as he did against Liverpool. Kane will be hoping he can continue to find the net until the end of the season to boost his side’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. When asked where does Kane rank in the all-time best strikers in the Premier League, Potter said: “He’s up there. “It wasn’t so long ago that he was getting criticism because he wasn’t in the box and linking up and he should be in the box more, but then actually his ability to drop deep, his ability to find Son, he’s not just a goalscorer, he’s a top footballer, he’s captain of England, an inspirational figure on and off the pitch. “I don’t like comparing people, he is probably the best Harry Kane that there is."
