Garth Crooks has written on BBC Sport that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane should have scored a hat-trick against Fulham at the weekend.

Kane featured for Tottenham in the Premier League game against London rivals Fulham at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The England international striker started the match and played for 89 minutes, as Spurs won 3-1.

The 25-year-old striker scored for the North London outfit in the 77th minute – his first goal in the Premier League in August.

Former Tottenham forward Crooks has included Kane in his Premier League Team of the Week, but the BBC pundit believes that the striker should have scored a hat-trick against Fulham.

Crooks wrote on BBC Sport: “So, Harry Kane has laid the August ghost to rest. Finally, Spurs fans do not need to bother themselves anymore with this utterly useless statistic.

“To be brutally honest, Kane should have had a hat-trick but the goal he did score was so unbelievably glorious I didn’t care about the ones he missed.”

August breakthrough

It must have been irritating for Kane not to have scored in the Premier League, but now that the striker has found the net, the England international will be full of confidence for the upcoming weeks.

The Englishman was unlucky when he hit the frame of the Fulham goal and also missed a good chance, but overall his performance was encouraging.
