Tottenham ace Harry Kane adamant they're steelier these days

Tottenham ace Harry Kane is adamant they're a steelier proposition under manager Jose Mourinho.

The 'Spursy' label resurfaced when the North Londoners let slip a 3-0 lead in the final eight minutes of their home game against West Ham last month.

But Kane insists gritty wins in their next two Premier League matches showed Spurs could produce the kind of consistency required to be genuine challengers.

He said: “To concede three goals like we did was a shock to everyone. But it was also a wake-up call.

“We had a little chat amongst a few of us and said we need to do better and we've seen that against Burnley and Brighton.

“The last two games have been good for confidence, just to grind out results and to get good, ugly wins under our belt.

“There's going to be times in the season when it's going to happen again and we need to make sure we're all on the same wavelength to get over the line."
