To say this was a mixed occasion for Tottenham Hotspur would be an understatement. There was a battling victory for the visitors to enjoy, one that moved them up to third and allowed all concerned to clear their heads following their eviction from the Champions League by Juventus last Wednesday. But a gloomy afternoon on the south coast was not without a gloomy moment, namely the injury to Harry Kane that threatens to rule Spurs’ top scorer out for the rest of the season and places questions over his involvement at the World Cup.
The prognosis does not look good given he departed the stadium with the aid of crutches and a protective boot following a collision with Asmir Begovic. The pair tangled in the 34th minute as Kane converted a cross only to be ruled offside, with his right ankle taking the brunt of the impact.
Mauricio Pochettino confirmed the 24-year-old has twisted the joint but refused to put a timescale on the striker’s absence before assessing the results of a scan on Monday. Tottenham’s manager insisted Kane was in a positive mood but the player’s reaction when he left the pitch would suggest otherwise. Having received treatment, the usually mild-mannered Kane threw a water bottle to the ground in frustration as he made his way down the tunnel.
