As one door started to close at Tottenham Hotspur, another opened. On the morning of April 7, 2014, as Spurs prepared for the visit of the Premier League's bottom side Sunderland, reports emerged that manager Tim Sherwood was going to be relieved of his duties at the end of the season. Though Spurs released a statement trying to quash speculation and the team eased to a 5-1 win, six weeks later Sherwood was replaced by Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino.
But while this match was the beginning of the end for Sherwood, it was also the start of Harry Kane's remarkable career in the Premier League.
