Harry Kane returned to the first XI for Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Harry Kane has reacted to Tottenham Hotspur’s latest win on Twitter by claiming that Christian Eriksen’s second goal in Saturday’s victory at Stoke City should be attributed to him.
Officially, Eriksen struck two second-half goals as Tottenham won 2-1 at the Bet 365 Stadium to strengthen their grip on a top-four finish.
But there is confusion over who actually scored the winning goal, with Kane suggesting that he got the faintest of touches on the Dane’s free kick.
The 24-year-old, who at the moment has 35 goals in all competitions for Spurs this season, jovially called on legendary English strikers Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer for help on the matter.
And both responded to him on Twitter.
Dubious goal aside, Kane might just be happy to have been on the pitch.
The England hitman suffered an ankle injury in the 4-1 win at Bournemouth in March, ruling him out for a month, but his spot in the first XI was a very welcome surprise for Tottenham fans as their talisman seems to have recovered ahead of schedule.
Kane has 24 Premier League goals under his belt this season, five less than Liverpool’s Mo Salah in the hunt for the division’s Golden Boot award.
