Kane relieved to tuck away Spurs equaliser

Tottenham striker Harry Kane was delighted with his equaliser in their 2-2 draw with West Ham United.

Kane says he was grateful the ball bounced kindly into his path after his initial penalty was saved.

"The ball bounced nicely for me, I got in front of Alex Song, was about to shoot and got tumbled over," Kane told Sky Sports.

"It was a nervous penalty to take but when your luck is in your luck is in.

"My heart was in my mouth when the keeper saved the first shot but it fell nicely for the rebound.

"I think we deserved the draw, we dug deep at 2-0 down and it shows our character.

"We were sloppy in the first half but at 2-0 down we started playing better and knew what we had to do. Not one head dropped.

"We knew we had half an hour to go, knew if we got one then the second could come. We're delighted to get the draw."
