Gary Neville questioned, during Sky Sports’ live coverage of Tottenham’s draw at Chelsea, as to whether Harry Kane touched the ball in the second half of Sunday’s encounter.
During his commentary stint, Neville stated that this is the ‘quietest I have ever seen’ Tottenham’s hitman, who has been scoring and creating goals for fun this season.
It wasn’t a surprise that the London affair finished in a goalless draw because it was more about not losing than trying to look for the win for both sides.
Neville shared his brief thoughts on Kane’s performance, which perhaps summed up the game as a whole.
“I don’t even feel like I have seen him touch the ball in the second half, Harry Kane,” said Neville.
“This is the quietest I have ever seen him.”
It was a tactical encounter between Jose Mourinho and his former player Frank Lampard, who ensured their players didn’t put a foot wrong from a defensive standpoint.
That didn’t allow Tottenham’s forward line to play with the bite and threat they have shown in recent weeks, but that didn’t mean Kane wasn’t still dropping in as a 10 and feeding the ball forward.
All in all, from Tottenham’s perceptive, it means that Mourinho’s side move to the top of the table.
