Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has lauded Harry Kane on the heels of Spurs’ 3-2 Premier League win over Manchester City.

After back-to-back losses in Premier League play, Tottenham sure entered its away clash against the reigning England top flight champions with much pressure to halt its winless skid. Overall, Spurs once again mustered up a quality showing against Manchester City.

Kane led the way for Tottenham with a pair of second half goals, which included the dramatic game-winning goal in the late stages of the contest. He formed keen chemistry with both Son Heung-Min and Dejan Kulusevski in Spurs' attack over the latter half of the match, as they assisted him for the two goals.

Overall, Conte comes away much from the result pleased with the overall performance from Kane. When asked during his post-match press conference on whether Kane is the best striker that he has ever managed, the longtime Italian manager took some time to applaud the veteran English international as one of the top talents at his position in world football today.

“We’re talking about a world-class striker,” Conte said.

Conte also opened up about Kane’s recent progression this season for Tottenham and just what the veteran forward has continued to develop with his overall play.

“He’s working, he’s working very well,” Conte said. “I think that he’s improving also on the physical aspect and I'm working with him also to become a point of reference for us. To become more a striker because sometimes in the past he liked to go outside-the-box to play. He’s very good also to do this.

“Also with Harry, we’re working a lot on many aspects. I think that my aspiration, I repeat, is to arrive at the end of the season and to see every single player improve after the work that we’re doing. It means our team is going in the right direction and is going to be more competitive to try to fight for something important.”

Kane has now chipped in for six goal contributions in his last six appearances in all competitions with Tottenham, which include the double in the 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in FA Cup play.
