Mauricio Pochettino’s men will then face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in what will be the toughest test of their group stage campaign.
They rode their luck at times against a spirited Apoel side, who were spurred on by a buoyant home crowd, but in Kane Spurs arguably have the deadliest striker in the world on current form.
Tottenham Hotspur’s English striker Harry Kane (L) celebrates after scoring during the UEFA Champions League football match between Apoel FC and Tottenham Hotspur at the GSP Stadium in the Cypriot capital, Nicosia on September 26, 2017.
Harry Kane has responded to Glenn Hoddle’s claim by expressing his desire to become Tottenham Hotspur’s greatest ever striker.
More of the same from Kane, and Spurs’ path to the next round will be paved. “You have got to make the most of every day and that’s what I am trying to do”. Trying to work out their issues isn’t so challenging and I imagine Jurgen Klopp will try to play a squeezing game to take the pressure off the defence. The former Toulouse defender was shown a red card for a second bookable offence in the 3-2 win over West Ham United last Saturday, earning him a one-match suspension which rules him out of this weekend’s trip to Huddersfield Town.
Harry Kane continued his excellent start to the new season with another two goals on Saturday so it will be hard for Pochettino to leave him out.
“Moreover, there was even a free-kick that hit the posts”. You never know. We will be very motivated to play them.
Tottenham rounded off the 2016-17 season in style against relegated Hull, Kane recording his second successive treble as all three goals came with his left foot, another low drive the pick of the bunch to go with two routine finishes.
I can only see a continuation of good news for City.

“At least Eriksen scored the winning goal at the end”. They have also failed to score in 10 of their last 13 outings, remaining goalless in each of their last five games.
