Kane: 'Best week of my life'

Posted Monday, April 06, 2015 by Foxsports.com

The 21-year-old was chosen as Spurs skipper after a week which has also seen him score on his England debut and make his first start for the national team.

Kane scored after just 79 seconds when coming off the bench for the European Qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley.

And Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino made it a dream week for Kane as he took over the armband from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who missed out with a knee injury.

At 21 years and 251 days, Kane became the youngest Premier League player to be selected as captain this season, although the new England hero failed to add to his goal tally for the campaign.

One goal would have made him the first Tottenham striker since Gary Lineker to score 30 in a season.

Disappointing

The striker managed just one shot on goal and made just 25 passes throughout the 90 minutes in a disappointing outing in Lancashire.

However, Kane remained undeterred by his own personal performance, as his side lost ground on the chase for Champions League football, by taking the positives from a ground-breaking time in his life.

Kane said: "Yes you could say it has been the best week of my life - to score, to make my first start and score for England, and to be captain today.

"It has been an unbelievable couple of weeks and one I won't forget for the rest of my career."

The stalemate left Spurs seven points below the Premier League's top four in sixth place, having played a game more than fourth-placed Manchester City, who visit Crystal Palace on Monday.
