Harry Kane is one the most prolific center forwards in the Premier League and indeed Arsenal is one of the sides he loves to play against.

The England International was out for a few weeks due to injury he suffered against Manchester United but made a comeback in the defeat against Burnley last weekend. However, he didn't look his usual best either against Sean Dyche's men or against Chelsea in the midweek which raised questions whether Kane got rushed through instead of waiting for him to be fully fit.

The game against Arsenal was a perfect opportunity for him to answer all the critics, but, he had to work hard for his goal today. In the first half, he put the ball in the back of the net only to be ruled out for offside. The Arsenal defenders were tight on him and did not let Kane any free space in the six-yard box.

Finally, Kane got his goal from a penalty which was awarded to Spurs after he was fouled inside the box by Mustafi. Kane registered his ninth goal against the Gunners.
