Harry Kane: Best week of my life, despite Burnley draw

Harry Kane hailed the best week of his life despite his Tottenham side being held to a goalless draw at Burnley.

Kane, 21, was chosen as Spurs captain after a week which has also seen him score on his England debut and make his first start for the national team.

Kane said: "Yes you could say it has been the best week of my life -- to score, to make my first start and score for England, and to be captain today. It has been an unbelievable couple of weeks and one I won't forget for the rest of my career.''

It was a frustrating end to the week however as Burnley dug in to earn a precious point in their relegation battle and Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admitted a top-four place may now be beyond his side -- they are seven points off fourth-placed Manchester City with a vastly inferior goal difference.

Pochettino said: "It is difficult but we have seven games, we will try. It is true that it is not easy. This game was a very tough game and we need to try to win the most points possible in the next seven games.

"The way Burnley play it is difficult, because always there is long balls into the box. They are a very aggressive team and run a lot. It is difficult to find space to play.

"We played better in the second half and we made some chances but it was not enough to score. Three weeks ago Manchester City lost here. It is not an excuse but it is a very, very difficult team.''

Pochettino confirmed Kyle Walker, who limped off, has a sprain but said it was "not a big issue.''
