Harry Kane says he was not expecting to come on before scoring a second half hat-trick in Tottenham's win over Mura as Nuno Espirito Santo admits his team 'needed the energy'

Harry Kane admitted he had not been expecting to come off the bench before scoring a second half hat-trick in Tottenham's 5-1 victory over Mura.

The striker, along with Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura, was left out of the starting XI for the UEFA Conference League group match as Nuno Espirito Santo named a second string team.

Goals from Dele Alli and Giovani Lo Celso put Spurs 2-0 up at half-time but an early second half goal from Mura's Ziga Cous meant Nuno was forced to send on his big hitters to see the game out.
