The first half ended in a goalless draw with the two teams missing out on an opportunity each. Heung-min Son could have bagged the opener after Kane initiated a counter-attack in the 13th minute but missed. West Brom forward Karlan Grant tried to beat Hugo Lloris later in the first half but could not make decent contact with the ball. 

Spurs' Sergio Reguilon attempted another effort but saw it blocked by Johnstone. Ultimately, Kane bagged the winner in the closing minutes of the game, heading home a scintillating header from a Matt Doherty cross to bag an all-important three points for Jose Mourinho's side.
