Kane hails Skipp thunderbolt as Tottenham defeat Chelsea

Tottenham striker Harry Kane hailed fellow goalscorer Oliver Skipp after victory over Chelsea.

Skipp and Kane struck for Sunday's 2-0 win.

Kane said, "Chelsea have been a difficult opponent for us over the last few years. So it's a really important win to keep us around fourth. Overall I thought we deserved the win.

"It was an unbelievable goal [from Oliver Skipp] and what a time to get your first. He has been working hard so it was nice to see that one fly in.

"First half both teams created a few half chances. We struggled with our pressure a bit and sorted that out second half. I think we just showed a bit more quality in the final third and whenever you break the deadlock it helps open the game up. Another clean sheet, two goals, so overall a good home performance."
