Kane first rifled a low shot past PSV keeper Jeroen Zoet and then, with a minute to go of normal time, headed Spurs into the lead.
Last night’s win is Tottenham’s first of the European campaign and they are now third in group B, three points behind second-placed Inter Milan, who visit Wembley in a fortnight.
“If we can beat Inter then we will both have seven points,” said Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino.
“Then in one game anything can happen. We will go to Barcelona [for the final group match] to try to win the game. The belief is still there. I am so optimistic.”
Inter Milan 1 Barcelona 1
Following their draw against Inter last night, Barcelona have secured qualification to the last-16 - the first side this season to do so.
Substitute Malcom scored the opening goal after 83 minutes to give Barcelona the lead at the San Siro. But Inter skipper Mauro Icardi equalised four minutes later to keep the Italians within three points of the group B leaders.
