Said it before and I know it's high praise this early in his career, but something of Sheringham's spatial awareness in the box about Kane.

Before the visitors got one back after a Walker mistake:

"

It finished 4-1, leaving Spurs two points off Arsenal in fourth and just four points off the top.
