Tottenham: Harry Kane reflects on 'tough' Aston Villa game
Tottenham's continuous pressure paid off on Saturday as they mounted a late charge to beat Aston Villa 3-1.
John McGinn gave his side a shock early lead in the first-half before Tanguy Ndombele equalised in the second period.
As Villa tried to hold out for a point, England skipper Harry Kane struck twice to leave the newly promoted side with nothing to show for their inspired effort.
It looked as if Mauricio Pochettino's side were set for a poor start to the Premier League season but ended up with three points after a late collapse from Dean Smith’s men.

Kane gave his thoughts on his perfect start to the campaign, and praised his team-mates for their desire to go on and win.
When asked on Sky Sports why Spurs finished so strongly the 26-year-old spoke about their effort after the break.
He said: "It was the tempo of the game, the boys came out with a real tempo and pressed higher.
"After Tanguy's goal we were full on until the end of the match."
