Townsend hat-trick of assists as well!
Goalkeeper was Mathew Ryan who has been on trial. Maybe we've now signed him.

2 things; firstly, I can't quite believe Obika is STILL a Spurs player... the guy must be 42 at LEAST!
and secondly, without sounding harsh, but a Kane hat-trick against Southend sounds rather like he's found his level... 'cos against everyone above the Championship he's been found somewhat wanting! Mind you, I get that he's still only 18...
Still, if the club give him as much time as they have given to Obika, I'm sure 'Hurri Kane' will be a star of our 2018 Champions League winning team!!!!!
