Harry Kane netted his 150th goal in club football as a late header claimed a vital 1-0 victory for Tottenham against Crystal Palace, handing a hammer blow to the Eagles’ bid for Premier League survival in the process.
Having missed a gilt-edged opportunity earlier in the second half, Kane made amends in the 88th minute of Sunday’s clash at Selhurst Park, powering home a brilliant header from Christian Eriksen’s corner.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side had dominated throughout, but often struggled to break down Palace’s stubborn defence.
Palace’s injury woes were compounded late on when defender James Tomkins went down in innocuous fashion, and his absence was felt when Kane finally headed home the winner with the final whistle fast approaching.
