Spurs followed up their north London derby victory with a 3-1 win against Newcastle United. Harry Kane - who scored twice at St James's Park - believes that leaves Spurs well-placed to secure a Europa League spot in the final two games of the season.

Harry Kane sees Tottenham thrown in and able to take over the European place. After Wednesday's 3-1 win over Newcastle, in which the striker scored his 200th club goal, he said that Mourinho's side are 100 per cent fit.

"The big win in the North London derby gave us a boost for these last three games," said the English striker, who celebrated a win that puts pressure on the sixth, a Wolverhampton Wanderers who did not go beyond a draw with Burnley.

"Every game is tough. It's been a season of ups and downs for us, especially away from home. It was important to get the three points and fortunately we did," he said.

Up front, Tottenham face Leicester and Crystal Palace; two games they cannot afford to lose: "We are going to have an exciting finish. Some teams in our section have to play each other, so if we win both games we should qualify for the Europa League.

"We can only think about ourselves and then see what happens," said Kane, who concluded: "We have a very important game on Sunday. We have to recover well and keep going.
