It was 2019 when Kane last scored for Tottenham. Injury, and covid-19, intervened and he looked strangely subdued against Manchester United last week. Nothing like a fixture against West Ham to lift the funk, though, and so it proved.

Tottenham were already leading when, in the 82nd minute, Kane caught West Ham on the hunt for an equaliser. The counter-attack moved swiftly through the gears, culminating in a lovely Son Hueng-min pass that sent Kane through from just inside the West Ham half, with a yard on his pursuers.

He doesn’t miss those, but the relief was palpable. Jose Mourinho predicted Kane would score, but that might have been as much down to what he knew about his opponents, as what he knows of his man.
