Harry Kane returned to show Tottenham just what they were missing and left boss Jose Mourinho admiring "one of the best strikers in the world".
Kane had missed the last two and a half games after coming off with an ankle injury at half-time against Liverpool and things could hardly have gone worse for Mourinho's men in that time as they were beaten in all three to lose ground in the race for the top four.
But the England captain made a quickfire return and put Spurs on their way to a 2-0 win against West Brom with his 13th Premier League goal of the season, with Son Heung-min also finding the net in a much-needed three points.
"There is no lack of effort from this group of players, there is no one not trying, I can't point the finger at anyone for not giving what they have got.
"I am sick of going on about it, it means I won't be sleeping too well unfortunately. Very, very quickly we will have to start beating any team we come across.
"When we play the big teams we will have to win, that is coming across now with the last 15 games coming and we have to start against Manchester United.
"We have to beat Manchester United like Sheffield United did, like Burnley beat Liverpool, like Brighton beat Liverpool. It is going to have to happen to us very soon."
