'Golden Boot win masked Kane's problems'

The Tottenham striker was top scorer at the 2018 World Cup but Alan Shearer believes the award belies problems with his form

Alan Shearer says Harry Kane cannot be tired, and insists that his Golden Boot victory at the World Cup has masked his poor form for club and country.

The Tottenham striker scored six goals in Russia to win the award, including a hat-trick against Panama in the group stages.

However, he failed to score against both Sweden and Croatia in the last eight and last four, and has hit the net just twice in his opening five games of the season for Spurs, against Newcastle and Manchester United.
