[Asia News Communication = Reporter Reakkana] Harry Kane suffered a late injury after scoring twice to rescue a point for Tottenham against Everton at Goodison Park. BBC Sports said that nine days before the Carabao Cup final and 58 days before England's European Championship opener, Kane limped off in stoppage time with an apparent ankle problem.
The striker seemed to land awkwardly after jumping for a header when defending a corner late on. Manager Jose Mourinho said he did not know how serious the injury was. "That's also a question I want an answer to as soon as possible but it's too early," Mourinho said. Kane had earlier been at his clinical best, capitalizing on two mistakes in the Everton defense to put Spurs ahead in the first half and grab a second-half equalizer. In between Kane's strikes, Gylfi Sigurdsson leveled from the penalty spot and gave Everton the lead by finishing off a fine team goal.
Everton pushed hardest for a winner and had the best chance to win it but Joshua King's effort was saved by Hugo Lloris and Richarlison fired the rebound over from 12 yards. Kane has suffered a series of ankle injuries in the past which only adds to the concern. In 2018-19 he had two significant spells out with a left ankle injury and in 2017-18 he missed a month with an injury to the right ankle.
