Harry Kane warns Tottenham they will be taking a massive step back unless they win a trophy this season
Tottenham striker says side that have not tasted silverware success since 2008 must get act together now
HARRY KANE says Spurs must lift silverware this season to avoid going backwards.
Tottenham finished third and then second in the Premier League over the last two seasons.
But they have not won a trophy since the League Cup in 2008 — and not been top-flight champions since 1961.
England striker Kane, 24, said: “The only way we can improve is to win something, or win the league — that is always our aim.
“We have to keep doing what we are doing, hopefully it will happen.”
Kane added: “It’s not the result we wanted but we take a lot of positives from the way we played.
“We dominated the game and had the better chances. It’s about being clinical.
“It was not our day, so we have to move on and try to win next week.”
Tottenham are playing at Wembley while the construction of their £750million new home at White Hart Lane is completed.
But they have won only one of their last 10 matches under the Arch.
Kane said: “Look, it’s a long old season and we have plenty of time and games left at Wembley.
“The match against Chelsea, everyone can agree, could have gone the other way easily. It did not.
“That is football, that is life, you have to get on with it and move on.”

But, with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino still struggling to strengthen his squad, Kane favours plans to close the transfer window before the campaign starts.
Premier League clubs are set to discuss bringing forward deadline day at their next meeting.
Kane said: “I think when the season starts, it would be good to just know where everyone is at.
“There is always players going here and there. There is a lot of talk for some players — maybe they should be concentrating on the season.”
