Harry Kane's Header Won the North London Derby for Tottenham, Makes Piers Morgan Eat His Words

Harry Kane … where did this all come from? The Englishman’s incredible goal-scoring form continued into Saturday’s North London Derby at White Hart Lane. The Tottenham striker’s header in the 86th minute gave Spurs a 2-1 win over Arsenal, moving them into fourth place in the table and one point ahead of the Gunners after 24 games played.

Credit Kane for outmaneuvering Laurent Koscielny in the air to win the ball and float it past David Ospina, but the game-winner is all about the perfect cross by Nabil Bentaleb. It was Kane’s seventh goal in the 2015 calendar year — the most of any player in Europe along with (wait for it) Lionel Messi.

Harry Kane and Lionel Messi in the same sentence? What world is this? Kane is now up to 22 total goals across all competitions in 2014-15.

Kane scored earlier in the game, cashing in on a rebound at the back post to tie the game at 1-1.

Mesut Özil gave Arsenal an early lead, deflecting in a chance by Olivier Giroud in the 11th minute.

As per usual, outspoken Arsenal superfan Piers Morgan typed something into Twitter he came to immediately regret:

Harry Kane wouldn't get on our bench. #afc
