Tottenham Hotspur have struggled to score goals during the absence of Harry Kane.
Speaking to reporters following his side’s 1-1 draw with Leicester City, Tottenham star Eric Dier shared his frustration at their inability to convert draws into wins over recent weeks, as quoted by ITV Sport.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have drawn four and lost one of their previous five outings in all competitions, and three successive Premier League draws has seen them fall three points behind league leaders Manchester City.
Dier spoke to the press in the wake of Spurs draw with the Foxes yesterday, and explained how his side cannot afford to keep dropping points in games that they are dominating, as quoted by ITV Sport:

“It’s very frustrating. We controlled the game from start to finish and we know what Leicester are going to do. We know their style, so we’re very disappointed because we didn’t create more chances and obviously didn’t score enough goals. We’ll keep playing, keep improving the way we play, try to get better and try to start winning games because we’re drawing too many.”
Tottenham face a huge Champions League fixture in midweek when they host Bayer Leverkusen in a game they cannot afford to lose.

Then they make the short trip to the Emirates to take on fierce rivals Arsenal on Sunday, in a game that could have a huge bearing on the outcome of the Premier League title race.
With Spurs’ current struggles in front of goal, they will be hoping that star striker Harry Kane will return to the squad as soon as possible, before they fall too far behind the leaders.
