The connection between Harry Kane and Gareth Bale has injected fresh life into Tottenham’s season. With two elite forwards operating on the same wavelength, José Mourinho has every reason to believe that his side can qualify for the Champions League. The outlook has changed for Spurs. There is no need for Mourinho to err on the side of caution when Kane and Bale are working in tandem and obliterating opposition defences.
Tottenham’s supporters must have rejoiced as two of the greatest players in their club’s history linked up to destroy Crystal Palace. It was a compelling case for Mourinho to be more adventurous on a more regular basis. Kane was playmaker and a finisher, creating both of Bale’s goals before chipping in with two clinical strikes.
