Soccer-Hot-shot Kane continues scoring streak in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 (Reuters) - England striker Harry Kane continued his goalscoring exploits with two more as Tottenham Hotspur beat a Malaysian XI 2-1 in a poorly attended friendly on Wednesday that was subjected to local protests.

The 21-year-old, named England's PFA Young Player of the Year after scoring 31 goals in a breakout season for Spurs, poked home a rebound from close range in the 19th minute before finishing off a neat one-touch Spurs move two minutes before the break.

Kane came off after 57 minutes of the friendly, moments after a number of used fireworks had found their way onto the field at the 80,000-seat Shah Alam Stadium, which looked less than half full.
