Tottenham vs Shakhtar Donetsk LIVE! Friendly result, match stream and latest updates today
Harry Kane put the uncertainty over his future to one side to score four times in Tottenham’s 5-1 pre-season friendly win over Shakhtar Donetsk.
Kane has been the subject of interest from Bayern Munich all summer and the German club are reported to have lodged their latest bid for the forward on Friday.
An apparent self-imposed deadline of midnight was also set by Bayern, but there has been no further news on the outcome of that bid and Kane showed no signs that he was distracted by grabbing a hat-trick in 55 minutes against Shakhtar while being continuously serenaded by the home crowd.
Sunday’s fixture was new boss Ange Postecoglou’s first match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and he was introduced before kick-off to strong applause.
The decibel level were raised even more when Kane’s name was announced after he was included in the starting line-up and given the captain’s armband in the absence of Hugo Lloris.
After Kane had two early shots saved, he scored the first of his four-goal salvo in the 38th-minute when he fired home from the penalty spot after James Maddison had been brought down in the area.
Shakhtar did level on the verge of half-time when Kevin Kelsy headed in from close-range, but it was soon back to the Kane show.
Maddison again combined with his England team-mate in the 50th-minute when his floated crossed was nodded in at the back post by Kane.
The hat-trick was completed five minutes later when Son passed into Dejan Kulusevski, who slipped the ball between Mykola Matviyenko’s legs and Kane drilled into the bottom corner.
Spurs’ record goal-scorer had already heard several renditions of ‘he’s one of our own’ before his treble but a section of the South Stand chanted ‘we want you to stay’ after his third goal.
There was still time for one more Kane goal when substitute Manor Solomon saw his curled shot saved and Kane was there to tap in from close-range in the 79th-minute.
Postecoglou replaced the forward a minute later and Kane left the pitch to a standing ovation before he responded with applause to all four corners of the ground.
Academy graduate Dane Scarlett replaced Kane and scored with the last kick of the game with a fine left-footed effort from Kulusevski’s cross.
The full-time whistle followed and Kane walked over on his own to each side of the stadium to clap the fans still in attendance in what Tottenham supporters’ will hope is not the last time they have seen their all-time leading goal-scorer.

Postecoglou responds to Bayern’s Kane deadline after four-goal haul
17:37 , Jonathan Gorrie
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has played down suggestions the club have been set a deadline by Bayern Munich to decide Harry Kane’s future and aimed at a dig at the German club’s public courting of the England captain.
On Friday, Bayern submitted a fresh bid for Kane, understood to be worth £86million plus add-ons, and reportedly set them a deadline of midnight to respond.
Spurs, though, are understood to still be considering the offer -- and Kane scored four times as they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 in their penultimate pre-season friendly on Sunday afternoon.

Tottenham vs Shakhtar: Maddison has been excellent
15:40 , Jonathan Gorrie
72 mins: It didn’t take a genius to suggest Maddison would be a good signing for Spurs but what a game he’s having.
Such an exciting player to watch, Spurs fans are going to love him.

It’s never wise to draw too many conclusions from pre-season but what has been obvious in this game and during Spurs’ tour is that Kane will get far more chances under Postecoglou. The striker has wrapped up his hat-trick after another cute assist, this time from Kulusevski.

Some promising moments for Spurs with Harry Kane also on the scoresheet but defensive frailties still there.

As good as Spurs have been at times, they have looked vulnerable to Shakhtar’s direct approach, with Davies clearly not entirely comfortable at centre-half. The Welshman was beaten in the air there for Kelsy’s equaliser against the run of play.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Shakhtar | Kevin Kelsy ‘45

45 mins: Kelsy gets between defender and goalkeeper to nod in a cross.

Maddison looks really sharp. More than once his feet have been too quick for Shakhtar, including in winning the penalty.

Some of the early fizz has gone out of this game but it’s still Spurs who look the likeliest to make a breakthrough. Pape Sarr has been very bright and would appear in with a shot of a surprise start against Brentford in a week’s time.

A touching moment as Shakhtar’s 39-year-old goalkeeper Andrii Pyatov is replaced after 15 minutes on his final appearance for the club. He receives a guard of honour from teammates and an award of some sort. It’s been a busy cameo to be fair, with two smart saves to deny Kane and one from Sarr.

A week out from the big kick-off, Spurs are looking sharp and this friendly is being played almost exclusively in Shakhtar’s half. It’s great to see Postecoglou’s system in the flesh, with the inverted full-backs particularly striking.
Tottenham vs Shakhta: Great defending from Romero
14:16 , Jonathan Gorrie
10 mins: Given the way in which the new Spurs boss likes to play, there will be a lot of ground to recover for his central defenders.
While the current squad might not be blessed with options to do that, Cristian Romero just proved his worth with a last-ditch tackle.
Spurs seeing a lot of the ball

08 mins:Not doing a huge amount with it, mind.
Tottenham vs Shakhtar: Chance for Spurs!

03 mins: Kane sees his effort saved as Emerson Royal’s follow-up is deflected over.
Sarr then shoots after a corner half cleared and the ‘keeper grabs it.
KICK-OFF!

Tottenham have announced the signing of Ashley Phillips from Blackburn.
The 18-year-old defender joins for £3million after breaking into the Championship club’s first-team squad last season.
Standard Sport reported on Phillips becoming a serious target for Spurs earlier in the summer.
Ange Postecoglou has been keen to bolster his defence this summer but Phillips’ arrival is not thought to be instead of their quest for a new senior player.

Alejo Veliz has confirmed he will not be loaned back to Rosario Central upon signing for Tottenham.

Veliz caught the eye during the recent U20 World Cup and would reportedly cost Spurs up to £12m.
Prediction: Entertaining draw at Spurs

Performances are the most important thing for Spurs at the moment and they certainly appear to have goals in their ranks. Still, the door remains open defensively, making a draw likely.
