What were the key highlights of Tottenham's 4-1 victory over West Ham?
Kane and Spurs were brilliant today. 4-1 winners, he and Eric Dier with Patrick Davison.
Guys, well played. Harry just steamrolled a team that have been excellent away from home. How good was it from Spurs today?
Yeah, that's probably the best performance we've had this season. We come out of the blocks flying. It was full of energy. The whole week training has been incredible. So we went into the game, just tried to put that out on the pitch. And yeah, of course, we come out with a good result.
Just take us inside the mind of a striker. Eight in five now for you, having had that run of not scoring. How different do you feel in front of goal?
It's part of being a striker, when your confidence is high you just feel like you're going to score each game that comes along. I'm delighted with the way things are going but the most important thing is that we're winning games and we're playing very well as well.
Yeah, since you did get a couple, can we joke about the one you missed towards the end of the first half? What happened?
Yeah, I just tried to put my foot through it and just probably got a bit excited. But, no, again, like I say, that's stuff you've got to work on in the training field. I'll be punching myself that I didn't get a hat-trick, but that's football, obviously. I'm just delighted that we've got a win.
Eric, another excellent performance from you, having been a defender in and out of the team last season, a holding midfielder for England now, just tell us why the role seems to suit you so well.
I'm not sure, to be honest, you know, I'm just really enjoying playing and playing every week and obviously, you know, hopefully I've adapted well to this new position and, you know, we can keep playing how we've been doing and I can keep doing well as well and Harry keeps scoring some goals then, I think we're on the right track, so... I'm just happy that we got the three points and we got the win. Do you feel like now that's where you want to play? Yeah, I feel comfortable there. I think I've put a good string of performances there, so I'm happy there. But it's up to the manager. If he said to me tomorrow that he wanted me to play somewhere else, I would. It's up to the manager, but I'm obviously enjoying myself at the moment.
How did Harry Kane perform in this match?
Harry, what about this record in London derbies, 12-14? I think you said it was down to the home cooking.
Yeah, I don't know what it is, to be honest. I've... Yeah, I might have to faint the misses for cooking the right foods. But I just enjoy it. I said before the game, I enjoy the atmosphere of these games, obviously, especially when we're at home. The crowd were incredible today. They got right behind us and we put in a good performance.
Eric, I think it's just four points off top now.
How high are you looking? Yeah, we're going game by game. We're not going to get excited. We're going to keep doing what we've been doing since the beginning of the season. I think if you ask any Spurs player, that's what he'll tell you. We're just going to keep on trying to perform how we've been doing, work hard. And we know if we can perform like we did today, then we're going to get wins and we're going to push right up the top. So we just need to do that.
As a back four, it's very hard to be critical of Tottenham today. I thought Alderweireld's been a brilliant signing and he seems to have brought the best out of the Tongan as well, doesn't he, Scott?
Yeah, he does. We were speaking just during the game about how the back four are working as a unit. It's incredible, really. it's a massive part of their game. That's probably hours on the training field and obviously the coach working with them in terms of drilling them and really bringing the play up and condensing it. I think that's the key part of why Tottenham can go and press teams so high.
That's actually what Harry Kane spoke about this, didn't he? Before the game, how they do that pressing. What's the key to what Pochettino does?
It's hard work. It's obviously something you do on the training ground.
You can only go and press that high up the pitch when the back four are squeezed up because if not, you're going to get picked off.
