Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez admits the players are happy Harry Kane is back in action.

The England captain made a hasty return from an ankle injury to lead Spurs to a 2-0 win over West Brom, ending a three-match losing streak.

"He brings a lot to the team as a striker and as a leader," Sanchez said. "Everybody was confident, we were good on the ball, we were pressing as a team. We needed to open the game in the second half and of course he was important for us in doing that.

"Harry Kane shows every season his importance. You can't say anything else but the fact that he's such an important player, a captain, a leader and a player who is pushing all the time, pushing the team to get higher. I can't say any more about him.

"All of us can learn and he is one of the leaders, an example to all of us about how we can improve."

After victory over West Brom, Sanchez says they have to build on that display.

"Of course, we've been thinking about it, we've been working hard to change that and change our situation," he said. "We know that it's been difficult. We've been trying, we need more performances and to play like this more, you know.

"To enjoy our football, play quick, pass the ball around, to create the chances, use the opportunities to do it and then we need to carry on playing like this as a team.

"We have been having a lot of possession but it's not just about possession, we need to create chances, we've been trying and we've been fighting to find a way. We are hoping to find something that we've been missing but the only way to get back on track is to make sure we carry on pushing each other."
