Ryan Mason insists Tottenham are NOT a one-man side after Pep Guardiola once branded the club 'the Harry Kane team' as Spurs' interim boss says the north Londoners 'fight for each other'

Ryan Mason insists Tottenham Hotspur are not ‘the Harry Kane team’ — as Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola once branded the club.

Kane did not train with his team-mates on Friday ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final, with Spurs looking to win their first trophy since 2008.

Yet Mason is confident Tottenham can pose problems for City, regardless of whether Kane does or does not start on Sunday.

Spurs coach Ryan Mason has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur are not 'the Harry Kane team'

‘If I think of Barcelona with (Lionel) Messi, think of Real Madrid with (Cristiano) Ronaldo, guys who are posting crazy numbers and creating big moments in big games, I think it’s normal your mind thinks they’re the most important players,’ said Mason.
