Kane believes Chelsea draw 'really important' for Tottenham season

Tottenham star Harry Kane thinks Sunday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea was 'really important' for his team.

Spurs fought back twice to secure a point at Stamford Bridge, with Kane scoring a stoppage-time equaliser.

"It was a really important game for us to show where we are as a team," Kane told Sky Sports.

"It's a marathon not a sprint and we've got a long way to go with a World Cup in between. But it was important especially after losing five or six times to them in cup or league, away from home at Stamford Bridge hasn't been our best place over the years so to come away with a point especially at the end was a good feeling."

He added: "It was a tough game, playing against a really good side.

"We knew it was going to be a really tough battle. First half we weren't good enough with or without the ball but second half I thought we came out and pressed well, got the goal. It was disappointing the way we conceded the second.

"But we carried on fighting and pressing and got one at the end there. I'm happy with the way we fought back especially second half and really nice feeling to get that one at the end."
