Harry Kane has no intention of easing up as he continues to plunder the goals for Tottenham.

The hotly-rated 21-year-old took his tally for his increasingly impressive campaign to 20 with a double in Saturday's 3-0 Premier League win at West Brom.

It ended a run of four games without a goal and Kane is looking for plenty more as Spurs press on in three competitions.

Kane told Spurs TV: "I am really pleased. Twenty goals was my next target after I got 10 and I am happy to be there.

"I was on 18 for what felt like ages but I am very happy. Hopefully I can push on and get some more now.

The Mail on Sunday’s Rob Draper says Roy Hodgson must call up Tottenham striker Harry Kane to the England squad

"There is still a long way to go and I am really enjoying it at the minute. Hopefully I can continue."

Spurs went to The Hawthorns in high spirits after securing their place in the Capital One Cup final at Sheffield United in midweek and it showed as they raced into a 2-0 lead inside 15 minutes.

Christian Eriksen opened the scoring with a trademark free-kick after six minutes and Kane gave goalkeeper Ben Foster no chance as he cut inside from a Mousa Dembele pass and blasted home.

West Brom, previously unbeaten under new head coach Tony Pulis, then started to play and Spurs were indebted to a fine performance from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

The Frenchman produced superb saves to deny James Morrison and Claudio Yacob while Craig Dawson also headed against the bar in an impressive spell for the hosts.

Spurs, who remain firmly in the chase for a top-four place, needed to kill off the game and the chance came in the 66th minute after Joleon Lescott failed to get his arm out of the way of a Kyle Walker cross.

Kane made no mistake from the resulting penalty, sending Foster the wrong way with a confidently-struck spot-kick.

Kane added: "We wanted to have a fast start and get ahead in the game. We did with two quick goals.

"In the second half we said we had to remember what happened away at Sheffield United. We had to keep playing and try to get the third. We managed to do that and then it was quite comfortable for us."
