Tottenham Hotspur star player Harry Kane showed his importance again as the striker's two goals in two extends Spurs unbeaten run.

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.
Kane double gives Spurs victory

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.
But Kane's predatory instincts saw him
equalise with a close-range rebound finish
and the England international then snatched
all three points from 12 yards, leaving
Pochettino brimming with praise for his fit-
again forward.

"We showed great character and personality
and we always tried to find the goal and
fight until the last minute," Pochettino told
BT Sport.

"We created more than West Ham and if one
team deserved to win more it was us. It was
not our best performance or best game but
it was difficult and so it is a fantastic three
points.

"It was important to us to recover that
feeling that you only get with winning
games.

"Harry Kane is always very important, he is
our main striker and one of the best strikers
in the world. You miss that type of player
when he does not play for 10 or 11 games."
Kane insisted Tottenham must take
momentum into Tuesday's "must-win"
Champions League game at Monaco, with his
side on the brink of an early European exit
after taking four points from their four
Group E matches.

"What a win. What a night and what a
performance," Kane told BT Sport.

"It looked like it was going to be a frustrating
night. We fought for each other and that's
what it's all about. It's an important week
and we have another big game now. It's a
must-win game but we've got the confidence
now to go into that and hopefully get the
win."
