Mauricio Pochettino "very happy" with Harry Kane

Mauricio Pochettino says that the Tottenham Hotspur's form is more important than any individual targets, but backs Harry Kane to score his first goal of the season soon.

Mauricio Pochettino has said that he is "very happy" with Harry Kane despite the Tottenham Hotspur forward going five games without a Premier League goal.

Kane netted in both of England's victories during the international break, but is yet to break his Spurs duck this season.

Sunday's 1-0 victory over Sunderland saw Kane's barren run prolonged, but Pochettino told talkSPORT after the match that he believes the 22-year-old will find his goalscoring form soon.

He said: "I am very happy with him. He gives his best for the team, the effort was great and you know he only needs time to score again. I'm sure, because he has great skill in front of goal, that it's only a matter of time.

"He's very confident, very happy. After the game, he was very happy in the changing room because our mentality now as a team, as a squad, is first the result, the collective situation, before our individual problems or targets.

"Of course, after that everyone has individual targets, but first it's the interests of the team and for that, we are very happy."

Tottenham's win at Sunderland was their first of the season and lifts them up to 12th place in the Premier League table.
