Harry Kane ‘still has the smarts to win a major team the title’. Spurs must wish that Heung-min Son was as good as their second top scorer.
Stand up if you love the smarts
Harry Kane scored twice as Tottenham beat Arsenal on Thursday. Martin Samuel of the Daily Mail certainly enjoyed himself:
‘Kane is still capable of turning a match as important as this, he still has the smarts to win a major team the title.’
You literally cannot possibly know this of a player who has never won an actual trophy, never mind the title. How can you claim he ‘still has the smarts’ to do something he hasn’t done?

Young at heart
The accepted theme in The Sun is that Arsenal’s callow players were dominated by the sheer experience of Tottenham.
Dave Kidd writes that the hosts ‘throbbed with menace’ but ‘Arsenal’s youths fell into naivety and…
