Kane hopeful of catching Salah

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane remains hopeful of overhauling Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the race for Premier League Golden Boot but is also focused on helping Spurs finish the season strongly.

Kane is bidding to end the campaign as the division's top scorer for the third time in a row, a feat no other player has managed since Arsenal's Thierry Henry won the last of his four scoring titles in 2006.

The 24-year-old England international has scored 24 times in the league and currently trails Salah by five goals with six games remaining. Liverpool have five fixtures left.

"I still believe I can," Kane told British media. "Look, whatever happens, there are still games to go. I've got to focus on my game. I can't control what he (Salah) does.

"Obviously as a striker, it would be great to win the Golden Boot again and I will keep working hard from now until the end of the season."

Kane claimed Tottenham's winner in Saturday's 2-1 victory at Stoke City but the goal was awarded to Christian Eriksen, whose free kick was adjudged to have gone straight past keeper Jack Butland without being touched by the England forward.

"I swear on my daughter's life that I touched the ball, but there's nothing I can do," Kane added.

"If they (the Premier League) turn it around, they turn it around. If they take my word, they take my word. It is what it is – the most important thing is that we won the game."

Spurs next face Manchester City in the league on Saturday, before taking on Manchester United in an FA Cup semifinal on April 21.

Manchester City win the Community Shield 2018 as Sergio Aguero sinks Chelsea in 2-0 Wembley win

It was meant to be an afternoon where Maurizio Sarri could show that Chelsea had significantly progressed from the Antonio Conte side which was embarrassed at Manchester City in March, but it was not to be. Instead it was same-old City and same-old stars as Sergio Aguero bagged his 200th and 201st goals for the club while Chelsea dearly missed N’Golo Kante in midfield and, following an impressive pre-season, new arrival Jorginho struggled to make his mark. The champions picked up where they left off last season, ferociously pressing Sarri’s side with chances falling to both new signing Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane in the opening minutes. The Blues were under the cosh from the off, looking to play out from the back with the tireless Jorginho the lynchpin, but City kept on coming.

Zidane: “We will not give Barcelona a guard of honour”

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane revealed that his team will not give Barcelona a traditional guard of honour if the two teams meet right after Barcelona become La Liga Champions. “We will not give a guard of honour, this is my decision,” said Zidane when asked about the matter. “Barcelona didn’t follow the tradition when we won the Club World Cup. This is my decision,” he added. Zidane is clearly stating that this is not something decided by the club in order to protect Real Madrid from potential criticism. Barcelona gave Real Madrid a guard of honour back in 2008 but they said that they would not do the same thing this past winter when Madrid conquered the Club World Cup. Nobody knows whether Los Blancos will finally face Barcelona under the circumstances which could make Madrid give said guard of honour, but it’s now clear that Zidane and his men will not hear anything about it.
