Massive potential: Harry Kane

Standard Sport7 February 2015

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has backed two-goal derby hero Harry Kane to keep getting better and better.

The 21-year-old has scored 22 goals in all competitions this season - more than any other player in the Premier League - and the striker admitted after the game he will have trouble sleeping after inspiring Spurs to victory over Arsenal.

But Pochettino, who described the win as a "special moment" for the club, believes Kane has massive potential and says there is plenty more to come from the England Under-21.

"His quality and his potential is massive, he can improve more," Pochettino said on BT Sport 1.

He said: "They created more chances and we cannot dispute too much that they win the game. The regret we have is that I believe we gave the goals away, the first and the second. But we didn't produce enough going forward."

The Frenchman added: "I think we were not very good and the referee was at our level."
