Kane was once more a peripheral figure at best as Tottenham fell to a 3-0 loss against Manchester United
LONDON -- It was on a night like this Saturday night, as Tottenham desperately struggled in vain to force David De Gea into so much as a save in a 3-0 defeat to Manchester United, that you could not help but wonder how different things would be if they only had Harry Kane on the pitch.
The talismanic forward who had vanished without a trace over the summer, never to be seen again in a Spurs shirt. Last season, he had been their one-man attack. Now, Nuno Espirito Santo was fielding a strike force that failed to produce a shots on target for the first time in the Premier League since July 2020, another game in which the expected goals tally began was nought point something.
Oh wait. What's that? We're hearing that Kane was in fact on the pitch. Apparently, he played the full 90 minutes.
