#2. Harry Kane knows how to score goals

Harry Kane scored a clinical goal for the Premier League giants

Harry Kane scored his 23rd goal of the season as he escaped Dortmund’s offside trap with his intelligent movement and beat the goalkeeper with a well-placed shot. It was a great finish by one of the most prolific strikers in world football.

Kane has undergone some injury problems this season and has made a great comeback to the side. He won and converted a penalty against Arsenal during the weekend, and now, he has 163 goals to his name in 248 matches for the London outfit.

The striker had a relatively quiet night against Dortmund, as the home side dominated the match. However, he made the best possible use of a through ball played to himself, and scored the crucial goal to ensure their qualification in the second half. He would have to continue his good run if Tottenham are to make it to the last 4 or beyond.
