If the conquering the Champions League was the final criteria on his checklist of becoming a world-class striker, Harry Kane ticked it off in emphatic fashion last night.

Tottenham stormed to a thrilling 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley in a match that could have gone either way but was eventually decided by the proficiency of Spurs' star centre-forward, the 21-cap England international bagging a brace to seal his side an opening victory in the Champions League.

Of course, we all know how talented a goalscorer Kane is at this point, with two Premier League Golden Boots under his belt already, but last night's performance showed the 24-year-old can carry that form to the continental stage as well - against high-quality opposition in a pressurised atmosphere.

But more impressive than his two deadly finishes was how Kane took the game to the opposition.

There have been copious occasions in which the Tottenham man has been a largely passive presence only to pop up with crucial goals - last weekend against Everton, for example, he made fewer passes than goalkeeper Jordan Pickford - but he was the real driving force against Dortmund at Wembley as Mauricio Pochettino set up his side to hit the visitors on the counter.

That's particularly evident in the statistics, Kane finishing up with two fouls won, three dribbles and five created chances to his name - demonstrating how he not only threatened Dortmund's goal himself but also used his guile, movement and power to bring the rest of Tottenham's attack into the game high up the pitch.

That was an integral part of the Pochettino game-plan, setting his side up in a 5-4-1 system and looking to exploit the space behind Dortmund's high-pressing line, and Kane constantly reaped the rewards. Indeed, Kane didn't just prove he's a world-class goalscorer last night, but also a world-class attacking player.
