Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has a special reason to be grateful to Harry Kane as he believes the striker saved him from the sack.
Pochettino was only four months into his first season as Spurs boss and his side, who had lost at home to Newcastle the previous week, were 1-0 down at Aston Villa.
Pressure had begun to mount on Pochettino before a dramatic turnaround at Villa Park as Nacer Chadli equalised with six minutes left and Kane added a final flourish.
The striker, brought on as a substitute, scored a deflected free-kick in added time to give Tottenham, and his coach, a pivotal victory.
