Harry Kane's cousin wins £5,000 thanks to Tottenham striker's injury time goal
His last-gasp strike did not only seal three points for Tottenham...
Harry Kane’s recent return to goalscoring form will have pleased Tottenham Hotspur supporters and the striker’s family in equal measure.
No member of either group, perhaps not even Harry himself, will be happier than Joe Kane, the England international’s cousin.
Harry’s stoppage time goal in his club’s 3-1 victory over Aston Villa not only sealed three points for Mauricio Pochettino’s side but also guaranteed Joe a sum of £5,000.
The Tottenham striker’s cousin had picked six players to score over the course of last weekend’s Premier League action and, by the time of the Monday night kick-off, only he and one other participant stood to win the £10,000 prize.
Both were waiting on Harry to score and, when he duly did in the nick of time, they shared the jackpot equally.
Joe met up with Harry after Tottenham’s victory to celebrate the unlikely cash win.
He also thanked his other selections, Jamie Vardy, Odion Ighalo, Yaya Toure, Romelu Lukaku and Graziano Pelle, for notching over the course of the weekend.
Harry Kane had only scored one Premier League goal this season before netting a hat-trick in a 3-1 victory at Bournemouth on October 25.
His goal on Monday took his total for the season up to five, with two further goals scored while on duty with England.
