Spurs striker made beeline for his team-mates after they snatched a dramatic last-gasp triumph in Amsterdam
TOTTENHAM'S last-gasp triumph against Ajax was so dramatic that Harry Kane forgot he was injured.
Fans were quick to point out the supposedly crocked ace looked fine as he sprinted across the pitch to celebrate with his team-mates.
Kane's post-match dash has Spurs supporters hoping he will be fit to take on Liverpool in the final on June 1.
The White Hart Lane talisman, 26, suffered ankle ligament damage in April but looked sure enough on his feet as he joined the wild celebrations.
But it is understood he is still hopeful of making the final against Liverpool in Madrid on June 1.
After Lucas Moura booked Spurs' spot in the final, jubilant Mauricio Pochettino beamed: "Still difficult to talk.
"The emotion is amazing, thank you to football. My players are heroes - in the last year I was telling everyone this group are heroes.
"The second half they were amazing. Thank you football - this type of emotion without football is no possible. Thank you to everyone who has believed in us. To describe this in words is difficult.
"We were talking before the game that when you work and when you feel the love it's not stress it's passion of the team.
"We showed we love the sport and football. Today was amazing. It was a joy to watch this kind of game.
"It's difficult to compete at this level. I am so grateful to be a coach. To be in football and to live this type of football.
"They are all heroes but [Lucas Moura] was a superhero. From the first to last one - the tough moment to live in the fivve years before.
"I want to remember my family - it's amazing to reward them. We need to be ready for the next game on Sunday then prepare for the final."
While Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport: "Lucas Moura three chances - every one of his goals was a cracker.
"It almost makes you speechless what happened today. Two English teams to produce two performances like that. You need heart, desire and effort.
"Talk about putting your heart on the line. And Fernando Llorente - what a substitution. He stood on Daley Blind.
"Blind couldn't deal with him and the boys came up behind him."
