Tottenham fans all know exactly what Harry Kane can do, and last night loads of the Lilywhites were absolutely delighted when the rest of the world got to see exactly how good the England captain can be as a creative force as well as a goalscorer, as he bagged once and assisted a further three against Bulgaria.
Three assists and a goal for @HKane

In a game that was marred by some disgusting behaviour from a contingent of Bulgarian fans –who did their utmost to look like thugs on live television by racially abusing certain members of the England squad – Kane and co. ensured they wouldn’t be celebrating any kind of victory, brushing away the Bulgarians 6-0.
Sticking to the football, Kane was simply incredible. Three assists in one game is certainly an impressive feat, and to do it on the international stage adds to the brilliance of his performance.
Of course, Kane wasn’t the only Harry from Spurs to feature for England from Tottenham, as Harry Winks also put in a solid performance, but in truth, this one was all about Kane.
You can read the Lilywhites’ verdict on Kane’s display here:
Outstanding

Drop Eriksen, put Sonny up top and have Kane as the creative midfielder. Problem solved.

Best forward in the world and the rival fans can’t do nothing about it.

The Lilywhites even went as far as to call for Harry Kane to be named as the full-time Tottenham captain after his flying performance for England, which isn’t a bold claim given he’s set to wear the armband for the foreseeable future with Hugo Lloris out injured.
Kane already skippers for England, so he’s a leadership figure for both club and country despite not wearing the armband full-time for his club, but should the Spurs #10 show what he can do as the main man at club level could well end up seeing these fans’ wishes granted:
Captain for country and club. Make it happen
