What they said about Harry!

Here are some quotes by the managers after the Burnley game on Saturday about man of the match Harry Kane:-

"He is one of the best forwards in Europe," said Sean Dyche.

"He was by far the best player on the pitch and that was one of the best performances I have seen this season."

"There are a lot of top players who can finish," Dyche added. "He works. He is awkward. You can't get a clean header against him. He is an absolutely top-class player.

"If you have a figurehead like that, every time the ball is turned over, he is on it like a shot. He can smell a chance as quick as any centre-forward I have seen."

“Spurs were the better side and Kane was by far the best player on the pitch.”

Mauricio Pochettino says "He can still improve,"

"Players arrive at their best at 27, 28, 29.

"It all depends how professional you are. If he keeps working hard every day in training and never changes that mentality, he can play until he wants.

"For me, he can still improve his game."

“During my three and a half years at Tottenham, his contribution not only in goals but in attitude, professional ethics, how he works, is fantastic and a massive example for everyone.

“I’m so happy for him because not only did we achieve the three points, he equalled the record with Alan Shearer. He now needs one more to move ahead of Alan, and I think that’s a massive achievement for him.”
