Kane thrilled with 'massive win' at London Stadium

Three points mattered most to Harry Kane, despite making more history at West Ham on Saturday.

Our home-grown striker headed home Serge Aurier’s brilliant cross a few minutes into the second half to give us a healthy 3-0 lead at the London Stadium and take his tally of senior goals for us to 175, overtaking the legendary Martin Chivers to become our third-highest scorer of all-time.

We dominated for large parts of Jose Mourinho’s first match in charge and were well worth our three-goal advantage, with Heung-Min Son and Lucas Moura also on target.

The Hammers rallied late and managed to reduce the arrears through Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna, making the final score 3-2, but Harry was just thankful for that winning feeling again after the final whistle blew on another dramatic London derby.

“It’s a big win, a massive win,” he said. “As we know, we haven’t won away in quite a while in the Premier League, so that’s all that mattered today, getting the three points. We know being 3-0 up we could have seen the game out better but a win’s a win, three points and we move on to Tuesday (Olympiacos at home in the Champions League).”

Reflecting further on the West Ham game, which came merely three days after Jose’s appointment, Harry said: “It’s been a strange week, a different week and we know this season we haven’t been performing as well as we would have liked, so it was big and whenever a new manager comes in, you want to impress, you want to start on good terms and we all felt today was a massive opportunity to do that. I’m really pleased for the players, the team, the manager and hopefully we can now carry that on.

“Until they scored and made it 3-1, we looked comfortable. That’s something we’ve got to learn – when we’re 3-0 up, to put the game to bed, four or five, but we let them back in and in the Premier League, away from home, anything can happen. But we held on, it’s three points and we move on.”
