Kane won this season's Golden Boot with 25 goals, one more than
Leicester's Jamie Vardy and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, but the
forward said personal glory was overshadowed by his side's woeful
finish.
Golden Boot little consolation to Kane(Reuters)
Finishing the season as the Premier League's top scorer has done little to numb Tottenham striker Harry Kane's pain after Spurs not only lost out to Leicester City in the title race but saw bitter rivals Arsenal climb above them on the final day.
Tottenham's
impressive season floundered in the final weeks as they picked up just
two points from their final four games, including a 5-1 hammering by
relegated Newcastle on Sunday that allowed Arsenal to finish above them
for the 21st year in a row.
Kane won this season's
Golden Boot with 25 goals, one more than Leicester's Jamie Vardy and
Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, but the forward said personal glory was
overshadowed by his side's woeful finish.
"It would have been nicer to have won the golden boot on a better day," Kane, who was named in England's preliminary squad for Euro 2016 on Monday, told British media.
"For me, it's a little bit of a good feeling but overall I'm gutted we haven't finished the season off strong.
"That
definitely makes it harder because we know how much it means to the
fans and how much it means to the club. When people think Arsenal had a
bad season and we've had a good one, yet they still finish above us, it
hurts."
Finishing third puts the club into
next season's Champions League but Kane said that while Spurs were
making progress they had a long road ahead of them.
"Games like Newcastle and the last few weeks show there's still a lot of work to do. We haven't cracked it yet," he added.
"We're
still learning, we still have to work hard and we still have to
improve. But everything is in place so we all have to try to stay
positive - us, the fans, the club - because we're moving in the right
direction."
