Tottenham manager Mourinho: Kane will have better headlines now

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho was delighted for Harry Kane after Tuesday's 2-0 win over West Ham United.

The England striker scored his first goal of 2020 after a long injury lay-off to help Spurs secure an important home victory.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Mourinho said: "I am happy for him [Harry Kane], he worked a lot and now there will be better headlines and a better feeling for him.

"He has been phenomenal in lockdown, did amazing work at home and he is in the condition to help the team. I am happy with the result, the clean sheet, it means the team is more solid, the players have less doubts. We played against a team with a coach with a lot of experience that organises teams in a very difficult way. I could predict that but they made it difficult for us.

"Our bench was rich, that helped me. To be honest, I don't think it's fair for West Ham to come here with 24 hours less to prepare than us. At the moment it is not nice."
