Harry Kane, as six days ago, as almost always, came to the rescue of Tottenham to give him the victory against a well-deserving Wolverhampton and go down in history as the best Premier League scorer in a single club (185), the only one who could to score the 1,000th goal for the Londoners in the English competition.
Always Kane. If against Chelsea he gave his team a point at the last moment, in front of his audience he was once again the greatest value of the squad, which he expects and almost never disappoints.
Because, with seven Portuguese players in the starting line-up and Gonçalo Guedes as an offensive reference, the Wolves were better than Tottenham throughout the first half. They pressed harder, had more ball and shot more times than the stadium owners; 12 times for a single Spurs attempt!
Between Matheus Nunes – directly to the owners just landed, transformed into the most expensive purchase in the history of the club (45 million euros) – and Gonçalo Guedes has completely disarmed Antonio Conte’s gray team. In fact, a header by Nunes (42 ‘) separated the door from the door, and only the speed of the Colombian Davinson Sánchez, who started due to the injury of the Argentine defender Cristian Romero, left the former Valencian without a prize, in a short time before the break. .
Tottenham, meanwhile, did not find Harry Kane more than once, a header by the captain who forced Jose Sá to intervene for the first time at the limit of three quarters of an hour.
Predestined to break Sergio Agüero’s record as a scorer in a single team and put the Londoners in the 1,000-goal club, Kane once again created another chance at the start of the second half, with another header hitting the crossbar, and changed the mood of his team.
The Wolves were no longer in control of the game. Son sends another ball to the post (62 ‘) and almost immediately, in the third Kane finds the precise header from a corner kick that makes history.
Bruno Lage’s team, which shortly before had fielded the Mexican Raúl Jiménez and shortly after had conceded minutes to Adama Traoré, then did not have enough successes to avoid defeat, to prevent Antonio Conte’s men from staying at the head of the ranking, despite that at the moment his best news is that Kane never fails.
