POCH: KANE SAVED ME
SPURS boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed his favourite Harry Kane goal was a deflected free-kick at Aston Villa – because it saved his job. The Argentinian manager, who joined Spurs in 2014, said his top goal went in off Nathan Baker in the 90th minute at Villa Park in only his 10th Premier League game. And that Kane-inspired win bought him the time to change the club. “Maybe I can find many other goals that were fantastic, but for me the goals are related to emotion, in the period you are living,” he said. “For me that goal was an amazing goal because it meant for us, for everyone, the possibility to stay here today. “It’s true, the team were 14th or 13th and we were a little bit under pressure because the team was playing well. When you don’t get good results, the first to be sacked is the manager.”
