Premier League | Harry Kane off the mark as Spurs beat West Ham 2-0

Tottenham beat West Ham 2-0 as Harry Kane was on target for Spurs , his first goal in 2020 as they continue their fight for top-four spots.

Harry Kane has scored his first goal in 2020 as Spurs have boosted their UCL hopes with a 2-0 win.

Tomas Soucek could do nothing as he put the ball into his own net in the 64th minute to give Tottenham the lead and Kane returning from a hamstring injury finally scored his first goal in 2020 which was also his 200th league game for the club.

With this victory Spurs continue to put pressure on Man United and Wolves as they continue to seek a place in the Champions League.

West Ham will be looking to snap out of their poor start as they are now only out of the relegation game on goal difference as they have suffered another defeat since the restart.
