Harry Kane’s composure in front of goal is remarkable
Despite the disappointment in the larger context, at least Spurs have a bucketload of positives to take into next season. Harry Kane’s development, in particular, has been the success story for the North Londoners this campaign.
He has transformed into England’s numero uno striker and his performance in a game as big as the one at Stamford Bridge was also proof that he could deliver goods when it counted the most.
The coolness with which he rounded Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic to slot home into an empty net is the characteristic of a striker riding high on confidence. Manager Roy Hodgson will be hopeful the 22-year-old will replicate his sublime form when he travels to France to represent the Three Lions (England) at Euro 2016.
