Pochettino hails Kane as among world's best strikers

Harry Kane is among the best strikers around, insisted Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino after his winning brace against West Ham.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino hailed Harry Kane as one of the elite strikers in world football after his late brace earned a dramatic 3-2 derby win at home to West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday.

Kane struck twice in just 160 seconds in the dying minutes, the second goal from the penalty spot, to complete a thrilling comeback for Spurs that extends the only remaining unbeaten record in the league.

Michail Antonio's sixth headed goal of the season put West Ham ahead in the first half with Harry Winks levelling on his first Premier League start before Manuel Lanzini restored the visitors' lead with a spot-kick.
