#3: Kane is well and truly back to his best

Harry Kane scored two good goals

Tottenham fans will be relieved to see Harry Kane firing on all cylinders after scoring three goals in the last two matches. After a slow start to the season, the English striker opened his scoring account in a 3-0 win versus Everton this past weekend.

And, on the Champions League night, it was Kane's brace that proved to be the difference between the two sides. He was great on fall-backs and defending corners for Tottenham in a tight first-half. Kane's first-half strike on a blistering counter-attack in the 15th minute saw Tottenham take the lead for the second time after Andriy Yarmolenko had equalised with a sublime effort.

In the second-half, Pochettino's decision to grant more freedom to the attackers paid off. Kane scored his second on the night after being set-up by Christian Eriksen, killing off the game. The Englishman also set-up Son in the penalty box, only for the latter to shoot it wide. He scored two goals with two shots on target.
