Additional notes: Kyle Walker’s performance was of the highest order, the right back put in a first rate defensive display as he expertly dealt with the fast and skill full Max Gradel on the left wing. In addition, Walker also got an assist after setting up Kane’s first goal in the opening 44 seconds. On the other hand Harry Kane will likely get the man of the match award for his matchless performance this afternoon and despite from grabbing an all important brace, the academy graduate was omni present in all areas of the pitch as his passion and commitment in getting stuck in further back pleased the Tottenham faithful greatly. As the Tottenham icon made some excellent interceptions as he should deservedly be awarded man of the match.
