Kane had not scored in four appearances for club and country coming into Spurs’ Champions League opener at Inter Milan.
Here, Press Association Sport assesses Kane’s performance in the 2-1 defeat at the San Siro Stadium.

In the first half, Kane barely had a sniff of the ball as Spurs were so wasteful with it in their own half. In that opening 45 minutes he was able to make just five passes. He became more involved in the second half and kept the ball well but did not cause Inter any problems with the positions he was taking up.
