The England captain scored deep into injury-time to spark wild celebrations among his teammates, who could scarcely believe their eyes after Kane hit a first-time effort from halfway over the head of Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Spurs had initially take the lead thanks to Erik Lamela's first-half effort, despite manager Mauricio Pochettino fielding an experimental team against Maurizio Sarri's full-strength Juventus side. But the Italian side's talent soon told in the second half as Gonzalo Higuain came off the bench to equalise before Cristiano Ronaldo put them ahead inside four minutes of each other.
Lucas Moura levelled soon after for the Premier League side with Kane introduced for the second half, while Sarri handed first appearances to Juventus new boys Matthijs de Ligt and Adrien Rabiot. But the best was saved for last as Kane produced his moment of magic to seal the victory to keep Tottenham's pre-season plans on track. Re-live the action below.

5: Chance for Spurs! Great pressing high up the pitch from Skipp sees Spurs win possession and Son is played through. He takes it wide, wide again and then even wider before getting a shot away, which hits the outside of the post.
6: Ronaldo has just attempted an overhead kick which gets the fans going here in this impressive stadium. It goes nowhere near the ball, but that's not the point...
9: Another chance for Son comes and goes. Great play down the left from Georgiou as he curls a cross into the box with the outside of his left foot, Son takes it on his chest then fires the ball into the side netting. Spurs lively, especially on that left wing.
11: Oh it should be 1-0 to Juventus! The Italian side pinch the ball back on the edge of the area from Georgiou and work it to Ronaldo on the left. He sets himself then is almost certainly about to prod it beyond Gazzaniga, but Alderweireld arrives just in time to fling a boot at it and deflect the effort away.
15: Spurs are pressing so, so well. They're fired up and full of energy, which is causing Juventus all sorts of problems as they look to play out from the back. Dele, Skipp and Winks are putting in a great shift in the middle.
22: After a fast start the game has settled down a little. Juventus are still powerless against this very impressive Tottenham press.
I'm not too sure if Sarri will be impressed with this so far. The Juve midfield is so close to the defenders in possession and that is making it very hard for them to get up the pitch.
26: A Ronaldo volley has the crowd very excited.
Cancelo chips a cross from the right his way and he slices it wide.
Juventus 0-1 Tottenham
30: Spurs take a deserved lead as Lamela is well-placed to tap in Buffon's save.
Son breaks forward and lays the ball to his right and Parrott forces a low save from the Juventus goalkeeper, who palms it into the six-yard area and Lamela takes advantage with a simple finish.
36: Spurs almost go 2-0 up but the offside flag is raised after Dele's brilliant first-time pass to Son, who squares it for a tap-in.
Meanwhile, Kane, Sissoko and Vertonghen are all warming up on the touchline. Some crowd entertainment or will we see them in the second half?
