‘Just like wow’ – Steven Gerrard blown away by technique of one Spurs player
Steven Gerrard says he would pick Harry Kane to take a last-minute penalty as the Tottenham talisman has ‘mastered’ the art of taking them.
Kane is one of the most rounded forwards in the world, with his striking ability remaining one of his deadliest traits.
While his shooting from open play has been a key part of his game, the 28-year-old has emerged as a dependable penalty-taker for both Tottenham and England.
Kane’s record from the spot has been excellent throughout his career, burying 50 and missing just eight (Transfermarkt).
His last penalty miss came on duty with England against Denmark at Euro 2020, when he followed up to then score his own rebound, while it has been four years since his last miss with Spurs.
And Gerrard, when pressed by Gary Neville to give the name of one player to take a penalty in the last minute, gave Kane as his response with little hesitation.
He said on The Overlap: “I can answer before you even finish it. Harry Kane.
“Just like wow, the technique, the pace, the speed and accuracy. He puts them exactly where he wants to. He has mastered them.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Kane’s ability to take penalties is such a great asset to have, as he is almost guaranteed to put his shot away when given the chance.
He generates so much power and placement that it makes his shot difficult to stop from that range and that is why his record is the way it is.
