Relentless Kane has defied Spurs cynics

On the way back from marseilles two weeks ago, I was talking with some Tottenham fans. nice chaps. One of them expressed the fear that, with the World Cup imminent, Harry Kane might start shielding in club matches, maybe pick up a convenient suspension or a minor niggle keeping him out of the last game. Since then, Kane has started all three Tottenham matches, played 239 minutes, including 59 at nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup, and his final appearance before the hiatus was a 4-3 ding-dong with Leeds in which he scored, lasted the full 90, and Tottenham came from behind three times. This despite antonio Conte observing in the previous match that he looked tired. One hopes the cynical are duly corrected.
