Pain for Kane as Spurs sink Saints

AFP, LONDON: Harry Kane found the net for the second time in two Premier League games as Tottenham Hotspur beat Sunderland 1-0 on Sunday, but was stretchered off late on.
The England striker scored at White Hart Lane for the first time since March to lift his team to third and keep the visitors second-bottom in the table.
But he had to be taken from the touchline on a stretcher after turning his ankle in the latter stages of the game.
With Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele also succumbing to injury, it was a bittersweet afternoon for winning manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Dembele was making his first appearance of the campaign after completing a six-game ban for gouging the eye of Chelsea’s Diego Costa last season.
Spurs also gave a first start to Moussa Sissoko, a 30 million pounds ($39 million, 35 million euros) signing from Newcastle United, while Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen dropped to the bench.
Sunderland manager David Moyes, who saw Adnan Januzaj sent off late on, made a change after the team-sheets had been submitted, bringing in Jason Denayer for Patrick van Aanholt at the back.
