But following the match, Kane was seen limping heavily, as reported by football.london,?He might have been feeling the after-effects of a painful back injury towards the final moments of the match.
Conte will hope that this is nothing serious, and the forward is available for Spurs’ next game against Burnley. If Kane gets injured, then it will definitely be a major blow for Tottenham Hotspur.
Did Harry Kane’s late winner against Manchester City open the Premier League title race wide open?
Manchester City has a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table following their defeat against Spurs. Just as it looked, Riyad Mahrez rescued a point for City, but Harry Kane headed a late winner for Antonio Conte’s side.
This defeat is a worrying sign for Pep Guardiola and his side. If Liverpool wins their game in hand against Leeds United, they will be just three points behind the leaders.
