Tottenham matchwinner Kane happy after FA Cup win against Portsmouth

Tottenham matchwinner Harry Kane was happy with victory over FA Cup opponents Portsmouth today.

Spurs are into the fourth round after the 1-0 win.

Kane said: "It was a tough game. We were clear favourites and people probably expected a bigger score but credit to them, they stayed compact and made it difficult.

"It was tough. We thought after the first it might open up but they stopped us getting the second one. It's good to get through - that was the objective - and we'll see who we get next.

"I think we said at half-time to get a few more players further forward because there was no real threat from them in behind. We got the goal at a good time."

On his goal: "I wanted to get on the ball more so I dropped into that space, played a nice one-two and the space opened up."
