Harry Kane admits win over West Ham was a fantastic result
Kane hit a hat-trick as Tottenham thrashed APOEL Nicosia 3-0 last night in the Champions League.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, returned to goalscoring ways as he hit a double in Real Madrid’s 3-1 win away to Borussia Dortmund.
And Pochettino thinks Kane is up there with Ronaldo, if not better.
“Cristiano is fantastic one of the best, Harry is one of the best and maybe better because he is young but I cannot talk about that because both are fantastic, the kind of players you want in your team,” Pochettino said.

“Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo in the same team. Why do you have to choose?
“Harry has something special in front of the goal and that is why he’s one of the best.
“All the strikers who are at this level have something special.
“They are killers. Harry has this special skill.”

Kane’s treble was his sixth in 2017 and he's now the Champions League's top scorer, with five goals to his name.
Pochettino also joked his wife is ‘in love’ with Kane.
He added: “My wife is so jealous and his wife too. He’s unbelievable. He’s Harry Kane.”
Kane will turn their attentions back to the Premier League on Saturday (12:30pm) when they travel to face Huddersfield.
