LONDON, Dec 26 —Harry Kane shook off his World Cup disappointment to spark a Tottenham Hotspur revival in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Brentford today as the Premier League roared back to life.
Kane, whose missed penalty just over a fortnight ago condemned England to a quarter-final defeat by France, headed home in the 65th minute to give his side a lifeline. Forty four days after the Premier League shut down for the first mid-season World Cup, all eyes were on those players involved in Qatar and especially Kane.
It instantly galvanised a Tottenham team who have trailed in six successive Premier League games and six minutes later a superb passing move ended with Dejan Kulusevski’s cut back reaching Hojberg who coolly shot past Raya. They were physically superior to Tottenham, quicker to the ball and offered far greater threat on a crisp Boxing Day morning in south west London.
