Antonio Conte heaps praise on 'amazing' Harry Kane...as Tottenham boss claims top players 'sometimes being lazy' does not apply to 'great example' set by Spurs and England captain

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has praised Harry Kane for the example the Spurs star sets for the rest of his team-mates following the thumping 5-1 win over Newcastle.

Kane played an instrumental role despite not scoring in the victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which saw his side climb above North London rivals Arsenal into the top four of the Premier League.

The England captain, who has been the subject of transfer rumours amid reported interest from Manchester United, dictated play from a deeper position as his team ran out comfortable winners - thanks largely to an impressive second-half display.
