Tottenham Fans Are Putting An Axe Through Their Televisions After Watching Absurd Harry Kane Hat Trick

Three Harry Kane goals vs Albania likely has Tottenham fans royally pissed. Last season’s EPL Golden Boot winner only has one goal in 10 league appearances this season and has been underwhelming to say the least.

It's a chance to watch non-league teams you've never heard of before playing the biggest match in club history in front of a thousand fans.
