Harry Kane: 'Rewards have come'

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has claimed that his patience and hard work were rewarded by the hat-trick that he scored away at Bournemouth this afternoon.

The England frontman went into the encounter at Dean Court having scored just once in nine Premier League outings this season.

However, the 22-year-old has insisted that his recent goalscoring problems are now behind him following the 5-1 win on the South Coast.

"As a striker you'll go through spells but today was probably the day that changes," he told the club's official website.

"I'm delighted to get the three goals. You have to be patient and keep working hard and rewards will come."

Kane has found the net six times for club and country this term.
