Tottenham's hat-trick hero Kane prepared to leave the gloves to the keepers

Harry Kane was delighted to score a hat-trick for Tottenham on Thursday night but has vowed to leave the keeping to the goalies.

The 21-year old striker netted his first treble for Spurs in the 5-1 Europa League win over Greek side Asteras Tripoli before going into goals when Hugo Lloris was shown a red card in the 87th minute.

Kane conceded once to Jeronimo Barrales not long before the final whistle and admits he makes a much better goalscorer than shot-stopper.

"It was a great night until I went in goal," he told ITV4.

"In fairness I think I'll leave that to the keepers from now on.

"It was a great result for us, a great win, and obviously I'm happy to get the hat-trick."

The win saw Spurs push to second on the Group C table and Kane was delighted to have contributed to an important win for the north London club.

"I thought it was good to get the second and third (goals) as well, extra goals when the team is dead on their feet and when we want to start killing off teams and getting the five goals was great," he added.
