Mason tips Kane to fire Spurs
Print Edition
TOTTENHAM Hotspur midfielder Ryan Mason says his side can put in a serious bid for a top-four finish in the Premier League and a place in next season’s Champions League after Harry Kane inspired it to a 2-1 victory over arch rival Arsenal.
The 21-year-old’s double on Saturday, including a brilliant header with four minutes left at White Hart Lane, ended Arsenal’s five-game win streak and lifted Mauricio Pochettino’s men up to fifth and only behind Manchester United on goal difference.
Arsenal is sixth a point adrift of Spurs and United.
Southampton, which edged Queens Park Rangers 1-0 with an injury-time winner, is two points above Spurs in third spot while Manchester City is also in view after a last-gasp 1-1 draw at home to Hull City sees it six points ahead.
Chelsea leads the way and is seven points clear at the top following a 2-1 win at Aston Villa while United was facing West Ham at Upton Park yesterday.
“He (Kane) is remarkable! He leads the line on his own and does it unbelievably well,” said Mason about his teammate who has bagged 22 goals in all competitions this season.
“You can see the way he is at the moment that he is on fire and can’t stop scoring.”
While Arsene Wenger has never failed to guide Arsenal above the White Hart Lane outfit, since taking over in 1996, Mason believes the club is on the brink of breaking into the top four and sealing a place in next season’s Champions League.
“We believe — of course we do,” said 23-year-old Mason. “We did the same thing to Chelsea a little while ago and hopefully we can keep doing well and stay up there.”
Tottenham travels to Liverpool tomorrow while Arsenal is at Aston Villa as part of a busy midweek Premier League schedule.
