Tottenham defender Davies: More and more goals to come from Kane

Tottenham defender Ben Davies has heaped praise on Harry Kane after his matchwinning goal against Wolves.

It marked Kane's 250th goal for Spurs.

Davies said, "It was nice to see it go in [Kane's header for the goal]. It's another personal record for him, so delighted for him.

"It was a big goal in the context of the game, and like I said, they made it tough, and once we got that goal, we felt pretty confident we could see it out.

"It's crazy. It's an unbelievable record, and I'm sure he'll continue for a very long time. He doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon, and to have someone as professional as him leading your line, someone with the quality he has, not just in front of goal but his all-around game, he's a pleasure to play with.

"Today, people might say the defender could've done better, but you know, when you're so focused on Harry Kane's movements, so quick, he just reads the game so well, and for me in that situation, the defender can't do alot. He's too clever for you in those situations and those goals, he makes it look easy, but there's a big skill behind it."

The Welshman ended the interview with a clear key message about what Tottenham need to do.

"It's trying to build some momentum and about trying to pick up as many points as we can early on in the season," he explained. "It's a season where I think every point is valuable. I think last season showed that, so it's important we kick on from here."
