da betobet: Tottenham Hotspur managed to grind out a 2-1 win over Wolves on Sunday but they still have a problem to solve regarding Harry Kane.
On the chalkboard
da imperador bet: Spurs needed a late goal to overcome Nuno Espirito Santo’s side at Molineux, with Jan Vertonghen sending an excellent header into the bottom corner after Christian Eriksen’s injury-time corner.
Per WhoScored, Kane turned in a battling, hard-working display.
He completed five dribbles throughout the game and also won five aerial duels while making four clearances.
He had two shots on goal, though only one was on target, but his passing accuracy was again a worry.

He attempted 21 passes and just 12 were accurate, though one was a key pass, notching an accuracy of just 57%. No outfield player on the pitch had a lower pass completion rate.
Kane was also booked after a cynical foul on winger Adama Traore.
Worst trait
Kane has struggled when it comes to his pass completion thus far this season.
Under Mourinho, the England captain has never once managed to notch a pass completion rate higher than 67%, per WhoScored.
Against Manchester United, in a dispiriting 2-1 defeat, he had just 66.7%. Against Bournemouth, it was 65%, Burnley 61.8%, West Ham 60.7% and Wolves 57.1%.
This is becoming an issue and it does not appear that he is improving.
Money talks: How much did Levy pay for each of these Spurs stars?
Only twice has Kane had a lower accuracy – against Arsenal and Crystal Palace under Mauricio Pochettino – and Mourinho isn’t improving the trait.
Kane has actually struggled to score under the Portuguese, netting in just two of his games, and if he can’t pass or hit the back of the net, he is a problem.
It is one that must be solved.
Meanwhile, Spurs legend Ledley King is confident of the club doing one thing.
