Kane moves Tottenham into second with late winner over West Brom

A late Harry Kane winner against West Bromwich Albion has catapulted Tottenham into second-place on the Premier League table.

The game seemed destined to end in a goalless draw after 88 minutes of action.

But Kane, as he has done so often for Spurs, won the game on his own when he connected on Matt Doherty's cross to head past Sam Johnstone.

Spurs briefly sat top of the table before Leicester defeated Wolves.

Speaking after the game, manager Jose Mourinho told BBC: "I feel satisfaction because we won and have 17 points and have 12 in 12 possible away from home.

"That compensates the dropped points at home, and for this reason I am happy."
