Tottenham Hotspur slipped further behind the title pace by drawing at Wembley on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has told BBC Sport that the performance was “not good enough” in Saturday’s disappointing 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion.
The Baggies, under the interim watch of Gary Megson following the sacking of Tony Pulis, opened the scoring on four minutes through Salomon Rondon’s second of the season.
It took Spurs until the 74th minute to respond as Kane converted from Dele Alli’s cross and the striker has conceded that Tottenham were poor for long periods of the game.
“It leaves us quite far behind in the league,” Kane is quoted by BBC Sport as saying. “We have to look back and see why we were slow getting going in the first half. But it’s not good enough.”
Tottenham have failed to win three of their last four Premier League games and will fall 13 points behind Manchester City in the table if the leaders beat Huddersfield Town on Sunday.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have two major problems – they cannot compete with the top sides away from home, and they cannot break down the smaller sides at Wembley.
That is a recipe which ends their title challenge here in November, and Kane and company should be focussed on the Champions League, and qualifying for it again next season.
