Harry Kane says it was "crazy" Tottenham were unable to score more goals in their derby win over Arsenal on Saturday.

Tottenham beat Arsenal 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday to move back into the top four of the Premier League, while also extending their lead over Arsene Wenger's team to seven points in the race for Champions League qualification.

But Spurs failed to put the result beyond doubt in the final 15 minutes, affording Arsenal the chance to steal a draw after Kane, Erik Lamela, Dele Alli and Kieran Trippier all spurned chances in front of goal.

"It was a great game, we really played well, especially second half we had plenty of chances after we went 1-0 up," Kane told Spurs TV.

"It's crazy it finished 1-0 but we'll take it. In these big games you just need that first goal and the spaces open up and you get more chances.

"That's what happened, we should have been more clinical, we know that, but we played very well. We kept them quiet until the last five minutes when they piled on the pressure. But overall it was a good day."

"It's massive, it's a big stage in our season and we've come out in flying colours," Kane said.

"We've got good momentum, the Champions League coming up, which we're looking forward to, then we've got to keep it going in the league."
