How might being the leading man in a pair of touchline tear-ups affect Roberto De Zerbi’s candidacy to become the next Tottenham manager?
The Italian had been long banished from the sidelines when Harry Kane, scored a goal that denied Brighton when they had been the team exhibiting an attacking style Spurs fans might recognise as adjacent to the “glory game” ideal that underpins their club.
Kane, thrashing home Pierre-Emile Højberg’s pass, had been reduced to feeding off scraps but his goal revived Tottenham’s fading push for the Champions League.
Kane’s erstwhile partner in crime, Son Heung-min , came to the party in scoring Spurs’ first of a game that had fizzed up even before kick-off.
