Kane and Winks both scored to secure a 3-2 win over West Ham on Saturday.
Former Tottenham Hotspur man Graham Roberts has piled praise on Harry Kane after the striker’s late starring role in the 3-2 win over London rivals West Ham United on Saturday.
Spurs went 1-0 and then 2-1 down at White Hart Lane against their rivals, but Kane scored twice in the space of 160 seconds in the dying moments of game to turn defeat into an extraordinary victory.
His first was a relatively simple tap-in after Hammers goalkeeper Darren Randolph had unintentionally diverted a cross into his path.
He then held his nerve under the utmost pressure to convert from the penalty spot in injury-time after Heung-min Son had been fouled to secure all three points in the most dramatic of fashions.
Writing on Twitter after the game, former Spurs man Roberts was quick to hail Kane’s calmness under pressure, and tipped the England man to score a minimum of 20 Premier League goals for a third season in a row.
Kane’s late brace took his tally this season to five in seven league games, and three in two since returning from a seven-week injury lay-off earlier this month.
His goals look likely to be the key driving force for a third year in a row for the North London side, who moved back to within three points of the top of the table with victory.
Roberts also tweeted a message to Harry Winks, who scored his first goal for his boyhood club on his first Premier League start.
Like his sentiments about Kane, Roberts hailed the passion of the “die-hard” Spurs fan, and told the 20-year-old that this is just the start for his Spurs career.
