Boss: Harry’s on the hunt

– Mauricio Pochettino has warned Chelsea that Harry Kane’s thirst for goals will keep Tottenham hot on the leaders’ heels as the title race gathers pace.

Kane (above) struck twice as Pochettino’s side closed the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea to seven points with a 3-2 win over Everton at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Having taken his goal tally for the season to 24 in 28 appearances, Kane expressed disappointment he hadn’t managed a fourth hat-trick in his last 10 games.

Kane’s attitude mirrors Pochettino’s own steely desire for success, so it was no surprise to hear the Spurs boss outline his plan for overhauling Chelsea.

“I’m a little disappointed with the way we finished, but we dominated for a long time against a team with good players,” he said.

“The most important thing is to show on the pitch that we believe. Today we showed that. It’s better than talking about it.”

Kane’s hot streak underlines why Pochettino ranks him alongside the world’s best strikers and the Argentine gave a revealing insight into the England international’s work ethic.

“He makes a lot of double sessions, he is professional, takes care of himself so he is fresh,” said Pochettino, whose side have won a club record nine successive home league games. –
