Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp hailed Harry Kane's heroics after victory over Champions League opponents PSV Eindhoven.
Kane scored an 89th-minute winner after also levelling the tie at Wembley to maintain Tottenham's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.
Redknapp told BT Sport: "Time and time again he pulls them out of trouble. He's an incredible finisher. What a player. What a captain. What a leader.
"He played in Europe for me when I was there.
"We always felt he was going to be - we couldn't say he was going to reach the heights he's reached, you couldn't guarantee that.
"But certainly the people at the club who were working with him on a daily basis - Tim Sherwood, Les Ferdinand... he was in their group and they were so confident he was going to be a top class player and that's what he's turned out to be. (He's) a special player."
