Mauricio Pochettino lauded Harry Kane the "killer" striker after he hit a hat-trick in Tottenham's 3-0 thrashing of Apoel Nicosia. Kane's treble was his first in the Champions League and ninth overall for Tottenham. Kane became the seventh English player to score a Champions League hat-trick after Andy Cole, Mike Newell, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Alan Shearer and Danny Welbeck.

Pochettino had said he was "in love" with Kane after his talisman's double against West Ham on Saturday and he joked he should tread more carefully. "My wife is jealous — and his wife too," Pochettino said with a smile. "No, I think it's unbelievable. You know, it's Harry Kane. "He has unbelievable skills.

He has something special. That is why he is one of the best. All the strikers that have this type of level they have something special in front of goals. They are killers. Harry has this special skill."
