As Fernando Llorente came on, Kane seemed to mouth the word "cramp".

But the Premier League's top scorer appeared to be fine after the game, even managing a TV interview.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino eased fans' concerns, saying the striker is just tired because of a packed schedule.

The Argentine told Sky Sports: "He's tired, three games in one week and the effort was amazing from him.

"Harry Kane is a fantastic player, one of the best striker; it's difficult to find words to describe hiM.

"He's unbelievable, so professional, the effort when we don't have the ball, everything is fantastic - so professional."

Speaking after the game, Kane wasn't asked about the injury, indicating it wasn't that serious.

He said on the brilliant performance: "Unbelievable, we wanted to start fast and get the crowd on their feet - that's exactly what we did.

"I thought we played really well. Their goal came against the run of play.

"We were pushing and could have got the third or fourth goal early on."
