XtraTime Web Desk: An 82nd minute strike from Harry Kane helped Tottenham Hotspurs beat West Ham 2-0 in the Premier League clash on Tuesday night. The win took Spurs to the seventh spot with 45 points from 31 games. It also kept Champions League hopes alive for Jose Mourinho’s side. West Ham on the other side is staring at a possible relegation as they stay in the 17th spot.
The highlight of the match was the England captain scoring a goal after an injury lay off of for six months. Kane scored his 137th goal in his 200th Premier League appearances for the Spurs. He also lived up to the expectation of Jose Mourinho who backed Kane after the later was criticized heavily during Spurs 1-1 draw with United on Friday.
Tomas Soucek inadvertently turned into his own net in the 64th minute to give Spurs the lead. Kane doubled the lead in the 82nd minute with a powerful shot.
The victory for Spurs keeps the pressure on Manchester United and Wolverhampton as they seek to return to the Champions League following their last-16 exit this season.
