Harry Kane has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur must learn how to kill teams off after losing 2-1 to Newcastle United at White Hart Lane.

Spurs were in control of the game when Eric Dier headed home in the first half, but goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ayoze Perez made the difference as Mauricio Pochettino's side suffered their first league defeat in 14 games.

After missing the chance to climb up to fourth in the Premier League, Kane took to Twitter to reveal his frustration with the result.

Very bad result.We need to learn to keep our foot on the pedal when 1-0 up and kill teams off.Important to bounce back with a win next week!

Spurs will look to recover when they travel to Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
