Tottenham 3-0 Pacos LIVE! Harry Kane goals seal Europa Conference League result - match stream, highlights

Tottenham vs FC Pacos de Ferreira LIVE!

Harry Kane felt the love of the Tottenham fans again as he enjoyed the perfect return with two goals in a 3-0 win over Pacos de Ferreira which booked a spot in the group stage of the Europa Conference League.

A day after the England captain announced he would be staying at his boyhood club after a coveted move to Manchester City never materialised, he went some way to repairing his relationship with a brace that helped overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit.

The last time Spurs played at their north London home, fans chanted ‘Are you watching Harry Kane?’, with the striker not involved in the Premier League opener against City having failed to report to pre-season training on time.

But all was forgiven against the Portuguese outfit as the 30,000-plus crowd let their star striker know that he was still ‘one of our own’.

Two goals in the opening 35 minutes reminded everyone just why Spurs refused to sell him to City and Giovani Lo Celso’s deflected second-half free-kick sealed the game.

Kane moved his tally to 223 goals for the club and, with his short-term future now sorted, he will have eyes on Jimmy Greaves’ record total of 266 - a marker he could conceivably catch this season.

Job done for Spurs - but the real talking point tonight was the return of Harry Kane, who struck twice and seems to have been welcomed back with open arms by the Spurs fans.

Dele Alli is on for Lucas as a late Spurs change.

Off the post!

That’s the third for Spurs!

Lo Celso stands over a free-kick and whips it in... and it misses everybody and goes all the way in!

68 mins: Now Bryan Gil goes close, but he sends an effort just wide of the post!

21:10 , Tom Doyle

65 mins: A great chance for Spurs to add a third, but Lo Celso is denied by Ferreira.

21:06 , Tom Doyle

63 mins: Ryan Sessegnon has put in a good shift, and makes way for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

21:05 , Tom Doyle

It’s going smoothly for Spurs, but another goal would give them that cushion - the last thing they need tonight is for this one to drag on.

We are back underway in north London. Nuno will want another quick goal to shut this tie down.

GOAL! Spurs 2-0 Pacos (2-1) | Harry Kane

20:21 , Tom Doyle

Two for Kane, and two for Spurs!

Great work from Lo Celso to charge down a loose Kane shot and beat the keeper to the ball - he tees up Kane, who has a simple tap-in to put Spurs in front on aggregate.

Jack Rosser in north London

20:14 , Tom Doyle

Spurs very comfortable without over exerting themselves here so far, and there is a sense that another goal will come in due course.

While there is somewhat of a lull, Bryan Gil is at least very fun to watch.

20:09 , Tom Doyle

A familiar sight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium...

Watch: Kane goal

Here is the moment Kane levelled the tie - great recovery work from Winks as well.

Jack Rosser in north London

19:57 , Tom Doyle

Not a bad way to come back into the fold for Harry Kane. He capped a brilliant move which was sparked by a fine challenge from Harry Winks, putting in the kind of effort needed to get back into the side here in north London.

19:55 , Tom Doyle

It had to be, didn’t it!

Harry Kane scores on his first start for Spurs this season, levelling the tie on aggregate after finishing off a good cut-back from Bryan Gil down the left.

Welcome back.

Chance for Kane!

19:49 , Tom Doyle

Spurs could have been level in the tie after just 20 seconds after Kane is found long by Romero, but the striker hits it over.

It seems Harry Kane has been welcomed back with open arms. Huge cheers greeted his name just before kick off before chants of “he’s one of our own” followed a fine chance after 20 seconds.

Kick-off!

Head to head (h2h) results

18:24 , Tom Doyle

Last week’s clash in Portugal was the first meeting between the two sides, giving Pacos the edge.

Match prediction

18:24 , Tom Doyle

Nuno finds himself in a tricky position: does he trust his young players to dig themselves out of a hole, or does he call on his star names? It could be a little bit of both - and if Spurs’ big players make an early impact, they should have enough to progress to the group stages.

Spurs to win 2-0 and qualify.

Early Spurs team news

18:24 , Tom Doyle

Nuno named a changed starting lineup for the trip to Portugal, sandwiched in between wins over Man City and Wolves. Expect Nuno to call on a few key men to steady the ship and get an early goal, including Harry Kane following his decision to stay.

Cristian Romero (knee) is a doubt along with Heung-min Son (thigh), while Cameron Carter-Vickers (ankle) is out.

Tanguy Ndombele remains unavailable while his future at the club is up in the air.
