LONDON, Jan. 7 (BNA): Harry Kane maintained his strong goalscoring form since the World Cup to lead Tottenham into the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, the Associated Press reports.
The England striker exchanged one goal with Ryan Sessegnon before firing a shot into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area in the 50th minute as Tottenham secured a 1-0 victory over Portsmouth of the Third Division.
Also in the early matches, Southampton knocked out Premier League side Crystal Palace thanks to a 2-1 win and Kelechi Iheanacho scored 2021 champions Leicester in their 1-0 win over Gillingham of the fourth division.
Kane has scored four goals in four matches since the World Cup where he missed a late penalty in England’s 2-1 loss to France in the quarter-finals. Three days earlier, he scored twice in Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Palace.
The 29-year-old Kane is still looking to win the first trophy of his career, with Tottenham last winning a major trophy haul in 2008.
