Harry Kane was the difference between Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund on the night.

Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki has told Goal.com that Tottenham Hotspur hitman Harry Kane is a ‘beast’ who would walk into any team in the world.

Kane struck on 49 minutes as Tottenham beat the Bundesliga leaders 1-0 on Tuesday night to cap a 4-0 aggregate win and move into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The 25-year-old striker missed the 3-0 rout in the first leg through injury, but he killed off the tie completely at Signal Iduna Park last night.

It was a game of few goalscoring chances for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who had just the one shot on target.

“We knew it will be really difficult because of the loss in the first leg. Tottenham waited for their chance and with Harry Kane up front, you can do that,” Burki told Goal.com.

“Harry Kane is a beast. A player every team would love to have.”

Kane, who now has 23 goals across all competitions, has scored five in the Champions League.

It’ll be Tottenham’s first time in the last-eight of the competition since 2011, after a famous win over AC Milan under then-manager Harry Redknapp.
