Harry Kane: 'I thought it was not going to be our day'

Kane relieved at scoring late winner

Harry Kane has expressed his relief at scoring a late winner for Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday's Premier League game at Crystal Palace.

Spurs boasted more than three quarters of possession but were goalless going into the latter stages of the encounter at Selhurst Park.

However, Kane headed home the game's only goal on 88 minutes to give Mauricio Pochettino's side a 1-0 win.

"We left that very late," Kane told BBC Sport.

"I thought it wasn't going to be our day, because we had a few chances, especially me, and Serge Aurier had one at the end too, but we kept going until the end and eventually got our rewards.

"We had a tough patch, with a few tough games recently, now we have to keep that momentum going into the next games."

The result puts Spurs - who face Rochdale in their FA Cup fifth-round replay in midweek - fourth in the table ahead of next week's league encounter with Huddersfield Town.
