Harry's Kane's last minute goal helped Tottenham Hotspur hold West Ham United to a draw in their Premier League clash on Sunday.
Kane's 96th-minute penalty was saved but he reacted quickest to give Tottenham an unlikely point at White Hart Lane.
West Ham had led 2-0 through goals from Diafra Sakho and Cheikhou Kouyate with just nine minutes left to play when Danny Rose's mis-hit long-range shot set up the comeback before Kane, who was felled by Alex Song, pounced to score his 24th goal of the season, The BBC reported.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino made six changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Fiorentina in the last 32 of the Europa League in midweek, as he prepared for the second match of a demanding schedule of six games in 17 days that includes Thursday's return leg in Florence and next Sunday's League Cup final against Chelsea.
With Tottenham also chasing Champions League qualification via a top-four finish in the Premier League, Pochettino recalled top-scorer Kane for this London derby but opted to rest his other star performer this season, Christian Eriksen.
Pochettino said that he believes they deserved more than point, adding that they had 21 or 22 shots. He claimed that his side created many chances, adding that they had possession of ball.
But, the manager also said that after they scored they created chances on counter-attack, they have very fast players up front.
However, Pochettino claimed that in general, if they analyse, his side were better than West Ham.
Pochettino claimed that in the second half he thought some decisions were against them, but added that they need to finish better and score more goals.
Meanwhile, West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said that he thought they were going to see the game through nicely but added that they made a huge mistake at the end. He claimed that whether it's a soft penalty or it isn't, it is something they shouldn't have done.
Allardyce said that it's a real disappointment but added that it was a magnificent performance.
