Kane urges Spurs to 'step up'
Tottenham skipper Harry Kane says he and his team-mates have to 'step up' to the pressure of trying to deliver in big games, both domestically and in Europe.
Spurs are back in action on Tuesday evening when they head to Germany to take on Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, with the Londoners holding a 3-0 advantage from the home first leg.
The thing for us now is that when the pressure's on and we need to step up, we find a way to get it done.

That game comes with Tottenham having not won any of their last three Premier League matches, a run which has extinguished any lingering hopes they may have had of challenging for the title.
And Kane is aware that the pressure is on to deliver, telling reporters: "I wouldn't say we're one of the favourites to go and win it (the Champions League), but we've shown in certain games that we can beat the big teams.
"The thing for us now is that when the pressure's on and we need to step up, we find a way to get it done. We haven't done that in recent years."
Of the challenge of visiting Bundesliga leaders Dortmund, he added: "They'll have a great atmosphere there. They'll want to get out of the blocks firing and it's down to us to settle the nerves, play under pressure and make sure we dictate the game.
"It's not going to be easy, but it's down to us to put a performance in - we'll never have a better chance to get to a quarter-final."
Dortmund can be backed at 19/20 to win the game on Tuesday evening, while the draw is priced at 3/1, with Spurs 9/2 to keep a clean sheet.
