Tottenham striker Harry Kane has admitted that his 100th competitive goal for the club in their 3-0 win over Everton was a fluke.

The England international opened the scoring against Ronald Koeman's side but there seemed more than a hint of luck about the strike as the ball looped its way over Jordan Pickford's head and into the far corner from a deep postition on the right.

Speaking after the game Kane said: "No, I didn't (mean it). I think everyone knows or could tell it was a cross so I got a lucky one but sometimes you need that.

"I said that in August, you just need a break to go your way and luckily I got that today then I managed to get the second as well.

"It's been a crazy four or five years so to get that 100th goal is amazing but hopefully now I can get the next 100 even quicker."

With regard to their performance, Kane was understandably delighted with Spurs.

"It was a very good performance. It's not an easy place to come but we played very well and a 3-0 victory here is very good," he explained.

"Everyone on the pitch - from Hugo Lloris all the way through - worked hard and made it difficult for them. The attacking play was fantastic and we scored three good goals.

"We said at half-time we had to try to get the third goal and kill the game. To get it so early on was fantastic.

It showed just what kind of mentality we've got at the moment. We went in to kill the game, we managed to do that and we're all very happy.

"Everton are a great side and especially with us being away from home as well, we wanted to come here and get a good result.

"We played fantastically, we're very pleased and we want to take this momentum into the Champions League in midweek then next week as well."
