Tunnel Talk: Harry Kane back to his best, Alan Smith tells Patrick Davison
Monday 23 November 2015 07:14, UK
Harry Kane's two well-taken goals against West Ham show he is back to his best after a slow start to the season, Alan Smith told Patrick Davison.
The Tottenham striker scored just once in his first nine Premier League games in the current campaign but his brace in Spurs' 4-1 win over West Ham means he has now found the net seven times in his past four league matches.
Co-commentator Smith, speaking to Sky Sports reporter Davison in the latest of the Tunnel Talk series, reflected on the Saturday Night Football encounter and reckons the England striker is once again showing the form which saw him hit 21 Premier League goals in 2014/15.
"As much as Harry would have said it wasn't bothering him, that he was still playing with confidence, you could see in those opening games of the season he wasn't quite the same," said Smith.
"He was thinking about one or two of his chances. That's what happens when you're not scoring, you start thinking more rather than being instinctive.
"But he's back to the figure he was last season. He's leading the line brilliantly and he's a very, very good finisher. He's absolutely vital to Spurs. It's the one area of the pitch where you would worry. If Harry got injured, they haven't got too much to replace him."
