Tottenham get first win but Harry Kane drought goes on

Sunderland 0 Tottenham 1: Tottenham Hotspur finally won their first match of the Premier League season at the fifth attempt, but Harry Kane is still waiting for his first goal of the campaign.

Kane scored twice for the national team last week, but rarely threatened to end his Tottenham drought until the closing stages, when his well-struck effort was saved by Costel Pantilimon.

By then, Mauricio Pochettino’s team had sealed victory with a well-taken goal, in the 82nd minute, from Ryan Mason, that was out of keeping with the feeble finishing of both teams.
