Harry Kane’s performance against Leeds United, truth be told, was another exercise where endeavour failed to overcome futility. Cynics will point out that this is the gulf between sides like San Marino and Albania…and top-flight teams in the Premier League. Except Leeds are, of course, ensconced in the lower echelons of the division. Yet still, Bielsa’s boys were able to extinguish the England captain’s best efforts.
If the first two shots were unfortunate, by the time the third came around, he really should have looked to pass.
Elsewhere, Harry managed just two successful dribbles.
Harry also appeared to have trouble holding onto the ball, and much was made by the Sky Sports commentators of Leeds implementing a man-to-man marking system. Kane lost possession almost as many times as Sergio Reguilon (21), giving up the ball 15 times. On 6 occasions, this was actually in his own half.
