BIRMINGHAM England (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane furthered his claim for a starting role in Mauricio Pochettino's misfiring side with the winning goal in a 2-1 Premier League victory at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Despite scoring seven goals in all competitions this season, east London-born Kane was again left on the bench at Villa Park as Pochettino favoured Spain's Roberto Soldado playing just behind Emmanuel Adebayor.
