Tottenham didn’t get the three points against Barcelona in the Champions, but Harry Kane had something to celebrate as he scored against the Catalans.
The Englishman pulled one back when we were down by a couple of goals. His strike came in the second half and gave us hope of a fightback at Wembley.
This was Kane’s 10th goal in the Champions League from just 12 games, and the 25-year-old became the joint-fastest European to reach the landmark.

There were a few others who have scored more goals faster than Kane. Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Adriano all reached 11 goals quicker than our Englishman.

This has been a week where the striker climbed up another chart. The 25-year-old became the fifth highest scorer for Spurs, after his brace against Huddersfield.
The Tottenham striker seems to be at his best after a slow start to the season. The forward won the Golden Boot at the World Cup but looked out of touch in August.
The rustiness has gone and the Englishman has six goals from nine games in all competitions. Kane needs to have a stellar season if we are to win any silverware this season.
