Harry Kane is about to cement himself as the greatest player in Tottenham history THFC
Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor offered nothing in attack, and Spurs founds themselves 1-0 down within 16 minutes.It was a sliding-doors moment which potentially changed the course of history.After Christian Benteke was sent off, Nacer Chadli popped up with an 84th-minute equaliser, then Tottenham were awarded a free-kick in the dying moments.Christian Eriksen had already been taken off and Kane, who had no rank to pull, grabbed the ball.
Kane has scored many beautiful goals, but while this one might be his most meaningful in a Spurs shirt, it was far from the prettiest.A huge deflection left Brad Guzan with no chance and sparked utter bedlam in the away end.Kane’s goal changed everything for him and Spurs Kane had already been prolific in cup competitions for Spurs and that was his seventh goal in seven matches.So while it was not a total gamble by Pochettino, the ex-Tottenham manager once reflected on the goal as a career-changing moment.
Speaking in 2017, when asked for his favourite Kane goal, Pochettino said: “I can find many other goals that were fantastic but, for me, goals are related to emotion, to the period you are living in. For me, that goal was an amazing goal because it meant for us, for everyone, the possibility to stay here today.“It’s true, the team were 14th or 13th and we were a little bit under pressure because the team were playing well, but not winning games and we were a bit under pressure.
“That is why that goal allowed us to carry on working and try to change the club. We were in the first season at Tottenham and people on day one when I signed the contract said, ‘Ok maybe in a few months, we have a new face in front of us!'”This feels like a good time to mention that Soldado left Tottenham in 2015 with seven Premier League goals.
