Hugo Lloris and Harry Kane Happy at Spurs Insists Mauricio Pochettino

He does. Right now, Kane is the best striker in the Premier League on form for me.

He left the pitch on his own strength, which is a positive sign and could indicate the injury shouldn’t keep him sidelined for too long.

“It is [positive], going undefeated like we have done since the first game of the season in the Premier League”.

The England striker, a surprise inclusion in the starting line-up with Spurs facing Barclays Premier League champions Chelsea less than 72 hours later, nodded in the victor with 12 minutes remaining.

‘We are more confident and we are more of a group.

You have to feel for Tottenham a bit in this game, to have the season they’ve had so far and then when Chelsea come to town, they’ve just got back from Qarabag.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino said: “We will make sure we will arrive in a good condition to play Chelsea”.

“We had control of the game and had the best chances”.

The North Londoners could probably have done without the 8,000 kilometer-round trip to the Azerbaijan capital just three days before the visit of Chelsea to White Hart Lane. We are in a good position in the table but, like with last season, the most important thing is to finish higher.

Asked whether Spurs were capable of mounting a serious title challenge, Dembele added: “We have the confidence to win any game if we have the same mentality we have now”.

Tottenham Hotspur qualified for the last 32 of the Europa League with a 1-0 victory over FC Qarabag this evening thanks to a second half strike from Harry Kane. “Now I am happy I am playing and the team is doing well”.

Qarabag offered a reminder of their threat on the stroke of half-time – the home side breaking at pace only for Dani Quintana’s scuffed effort to be palmed away by Lloris.

“We’ve pretty much outrun most teams this season which has been a vital part of our game”. Costa, if selected, will have to show his qualities as a footballer, rather than his perhaps greater ability as an arch-antagonist if Chelsea are to prevail.
