Dejan Kulusevski explained what he did after Harry Kane's goal in Tottenham victory vs Man City
Dejan Kuluseski has said he "loves being underdogs" when giving his verdict of Tottenham's performance in their 3-2 victory over Man City.
Spurs' summer signing not only got his first start in a Tottenham shirt, but the January signing also notched his first goal, as the visitors caught City cold in the fourth minute of the game.

"For sure, Kulusevski played an amazing game," Conte admitted in his post match press conference. "He’s only 21 years old, but despite this, he has good experience, because when you play with Juventus you have to manage a lot of pressure in Italy.

The 21-year-old added attacking flare to the Spurs side, getting down the pitch to provide crosses and passes to his teammates, helping to create chances in the final third.
After the game, the Swedish international gave his own verdict of his side's performance.
"Fantastic. All hard work pays off and after this feeling you want to do it more, you want to go tomorrow, you want to work harder because this is a wonderful feeling that
