Antonio Conte saluted Harry Kane as the England captain fired Tottenham's season back on track with two goals at Crystal Palace.

Kane's double secured Spurs their first win since the World Cup and moved him within two of Jimmy Greaves at the top of the Spurs goal charts and onto 198 Premier League goals in his 300th game.

'We are talking about a world class striker,' said Conte. 'He is going to beat every record with the goals. In the difficult moments, you know Harry is on the pitch, ready to fight, ready to help teammates, ready to sort situation with goals and assists.'
