Harry Kane says Tottenham showed how much they care about the club in Saturday's 2-1 win over Southampton.

Despite Serge Aurier's first-half dismissal, Spurs gritted their way to victory in front of their home supporters to snap a three game winless streak.

"This was a massive statement to the fans and the club to show how much the players want to fight for this club," the England international captain said after Saturday's win.

"Whenever you go through a tough spell that's all you can do – dig deep and find ways to win. I know the crowd would have enjoyed that win.

"Of course, it wasn't the prettiest we've ever had at home, but it shows how much we care about the club."
