Express Sport – King Kane
The Daily Express’ back page reports on Harry Kane setting a new Tottenham scoring record with Spurs win over Manchester City.
Express says Tottenham knew that facing Manchester City without their passionate head coach Antonio Conte on the sidelines would be a difficult task, but the Italian’s absence seem to give the north London side an extra injection of motivation as the 10 men battled to a 1-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With Conte still in Italy and unable to attend the match, his players fought hard to bring home a vital win to boost their hopes of finishing in the top four.
Before the game, assistant coach Cristian Stellini was placed in temporary charge after leading training in the build-up to the game on Sunday and the Italian spoke about the players’ necessity to step up to the plate with the 53-year-old sidelined.
