Eriksen answers Pep's Kane claim, insists Spurs aren't one-man team

LONDON -- Christian Eriksen has had his say on "the Harry Kane team" row, agreeing that Pep Guardiola's comment lacked respect and insisting that Tottenham are not a one-man team.

Mauricio Pochettino described Pep Guardiola as "disrespectful" and ungentlemanly, and suggested the Manchester City boss had broken the managerial code after he referred to Spurs as "the Harry Kane team" a fortnight ago. Guardiola clarified, saying Pochettino had made a mistake while insisting he had not shown Spurs any disrespect.

Pochettino also said his players had laughed at Guardiola's comment but Eriksen, who was the match-winner in Saturday's 1-0 win over Bournemouth, made light of the row when it was pointed out that Spurs managed to win without Kane scoring.
