By Richard Arrowsmith for MailOnline With Mauricio Pochettino still struggling to decide who will be leading Tottenham's line this season, Harry Kane staked his claim with another impressive performance in the Europa League. The 21-year-old scored a superb effort in the first-leg against AEL Limassol to help Spurs take a 2-1 advantage into the return game at White Hart Lane on Thursday evening. With Emmanuel Adebayor rested on the substitute's bench ahead of Sunday's visit from Liverpool and Roberto Soldado withdrawn from the squad with injury, Kane seized the opportunity to impress.
