PREMIER LEAGUE: Harry Kane Unhappy with Spurs Inconsistency

Harry Kane has bemoaned Tottenham’s inability to hold on to results this season after they were pegged back for a point by Newcastle at St James’ Park in the Premier League.
The Spurs striker looked to have done enough in the first half with a four-minute brace to overturn Joelinton’s opener, but Jose Mourinho’s visitors were ultimately made to pay as Arsenal loanee Joe Willock struck late to salvage a draw for the Magpies.

It means Tottenham have now dropped 11 points from goals conceded in the last 10 minutes of matches this term, and their star forward admitted that there has to be a marked improvement from the European hopefuls.
Spurs must get up and dust themselves off ahead of what will be a big April for the club as they build towards a showpiece game later this month.
