The afternoon after the heavyweight boxing clash between David Haye and Tony Bellew in London on Saturday night, Harry Kane was on his way to settling another box office showdown, this time in the Premier League.
The Tottenham striker, comfortably winning the battle of the goal-scorers against Romelu Lukaku, had just put his side 2-0 in front against Everton with yet another decisive show of clever movement and clinical finishing. And an intriguing chant sprouted up at White Hart Lane: "Just a one-season wonder," the natives yelled, tongues firmly in cheeks.
It was interesting because it was an acknowledgement that aside from those of a Tottenham persuasion, there are still so many who doubt Kane; those who feel the flame will burn out and Spurs' star will regress to just another average journeyman striker.
