Tottenham Hotspur wing-back Matt Doherty has joked about how he finds Harry Kane “annoying” due to how good the striker is.

Spurs’ talisman set up Doherty, who was playing at left wing-back, in yesterday’s 5-1 win against Newcastle United.

The Republic of Ireland international scored Antonio Conte side’s crucial second with a header, but the former Wolves man was picked out by Kane, who once again showcased his range of passing and vision.

Tottenham’s number 10 didn’t get himself on the scoresheet, but he was a constant thorn in Eddie Howe’s side, who struggled to pick up the England captain when he dropped deep to get on the ball and make things happen.

The 28-year-old’s playmaking performance saw former Tottenham man David Ginola compare him to Argentine all-time great Diego Maradona.

To sum up Kane’s impressive and influential start to 2022, no player has scored more goals (8) or registered more assists (5) than Tottenham’s main man, according to Squawka.

Speaking after yesterday’s comprehensive win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Doherty reserved special praise for his teammate, but he couldn’t also but voice his frustration at how good Kane was at everything he seemingly tries.

Spurs’ number two said: “He’s the best player in the Premier League for me.

“He has the best passing, finishing and just the best everything.

“In golf he’s the best player as well. Do you know how annoying that is?

“I’ve just said that on camera as well. He hits the ball miles.”

Kane has 22 goals and seven assists from 42 games across all competitions this season and under the influential Conte, England’s soon to be all-time top goalscorer has 15 goals and six assists from 28 matches to his name.
