The England international explained that Jamal Musiala’s absence has allowed him to drop deeper and take a greater part in the team’s build-up play.
"I've spoken already about when Jamal's playing it's a little bit different. Jamal is such a good player, getting the ball off defenders, driving and dribbling,” Kane said.
"Obviously a lot last year when we were playing together, it was better for him to go and do that. I still did that at times.
"I think since me and Serge (Gnabry), and me and Nico (Jackson) have been forming that partnership this season, it's allowed me to just be a little bit deeper and use my qualities in that sense of turning and playing it forward and playing it out wide, and then arriving into the box a little bit later.
"Which also helps. Sometimes when you're playing up there as a nine, it's easy to be marked, to be marked out of the game almost. Even my goal today, arriving a little bit late, I finished it off."
