Chris Sutton has claimed that Harry Kane bullied Michael Keane during Tottenham’s 5-0 thrashing of Everton on Monday night, as he told BBC Sport.
In the first half, Spurs put three goals past Frank Lampard’s helpless side, with Kane going through one v one and firing home past his England teammate, before netting a sensational volley in the second.
Everton called for offside during that passage of play, but Kane timed his run to perfection and continued his strong run of form under Antonio Conte.
It was a game to forget for Keane because, not only did he struggle against Kane, but he also scored yet another own goal in this fixture.
Nonetheless, this is what Sutton had to say about Kane’s battle with his fellow countryman yesterday.
“What a finish this is,” said Sutton. “Everton screaming for offside. Kane bullies Michael Keane.
“it’s a tight one, very, very close. It’s so, so tight, but what a finish.
“Kane composes himself beautifully and gives Jordan Pickford the eyes and whips it across him – as clinical as they come.”
Kane netted a brace against the Toffees, just like he did last season, and with it, he beat Thierry Henry’s Premier League goalscoring record.
That’s 176 league goals for Kane, the sixth-highest in Premier League history, as he has now surpassed perhaps the greatest striker of the modern area.
Nonetheless, it’s also a tenth Premier League goal of the campaign for Kane, and after a slow start, he is now starting to work his way up that list.
There’s no way he is going to catch Mohamed Salah because the Liverpool flyer is on 19, but Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane (12) are not far from his reach.
