Harry Kane takes aim at Arsenal as Tottenham forward celebrates Premier League anniversary

Harry Kane took part in an entertaining Twitter Q&A this evening to mark the 10th anniversary of his Premier League debut for Spurs, answering questions ranging from his favourite Premier League goal, to fantasy football, to cheese.

Exactly a decade on from his debut, Kane boasts a reputation as one of the most devastating strikers in world football, registering 184 goals in 281 outings and sweeping up three Premier League Golden Boots in the process.

Kane took some time to answer several questions from fans to mark the anniversary of his debut, which came in a 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle on 18 August 2012, joking with fans about several topics after some serious answers, which included a dig at Spurs’ North London rivals Arsenal.

Kane was asked by one follower what his favourite Premier League goal of his career was, to which he responded with his first North London derby goal.

‘In my first North London derby we won 2-1 at White Hart Lane,’ Kane said in a video on his Twitter account, captioned: ‘Gotta be this one!’

‘I scored a header in the 88th or 89th minute and I think just the whole occasion, it being my first North London Derby, being at White Hart Lane, and to score the winner in the last minute – [it] was a moment I’ll never forget.’

Kane also referenced England’s 2018 World Cup last-16 penalty shootout win over Colombia as the biggest physical test in his career, explaining how he had to deal with ‘severe cramp’ throughout extra-time.

‘Physically the biggest match I’ve had to overcome was against Colombia in the World Cup,’ he said. 

‘I was suffering from severe cramp all through extra-time. [I] dug deep to get through it and then to take the penalty in the shootout and score and win it as well was one of the moments I look back on that pleases me the most.’

On England, Kane also promised to meet one fan for a drink if his side win the World Cup this winter in Qatar.

‘I’d love to get a pint – if we win the World Cup this winter let’s make it happen!’ he joked.

The forward then told fantasy football managers that ‘Good managers make their own decisions!’ when questioned if players should captain him this weekend, before explaining his hate for cheese, writing: ‘Not a big cheese fan, only really eat it melted!’

The forward then moved over to Instagram to answer more questions, including the toughest opponent he has faced.
