MADRID, Spain -- Remember when Harry Kane had to prove to the world that he was not a one-season wonder?
It wasn't that long ago but, having scored 21 Premier League goals for Tottenham in his first full season at the top level in 2014-15, Kane responded to his doubters with 25 league goals the next season and 29 the year after.
He has six in eight games so far for Spurs in the Premier League this season, so it is safe to suggest that the 24-year-old has silenced even his most ardent critics. Nobody now questions whether Kane is the real deal.
