Harry Kane: ‘I’m not resting on my laurels’ in Golden Boot race

“We talk about ‘if Tottenham are in the Champions League, it will be more attractive.’ But then it’s all about if you pay or not when we talk about top players”.

Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare admitted his side were second best to Tottenham and he could take no positives from their 6-1 defeat the King Power Stadium.

Foreshadowing their imminent goal spree, Tottenham started with a swagger and almost took the lead when Kane’s pass picked out Son, only for Chilwell to deny him with a last-ditch block. Cha scored 19 goals during the 1985-86 season for the German side Bayer Leverkusen.

It was a lively start to the game, with both teams playing with a lot of confidence after strong ends to the season (aside from that night at the Olympic Park), and neither team seemed particularly perturbed by the fact they they didn’t really have anything to play for other than pride. “But without my teammates, my coaching staff and Tottenham, this would have never happened”. Let me remind you that in the last round, TTX hosted MJ and scored a 2: 1 victory in his last match at White Hart Lane.

But Son atoned for his miss 10 minutes later when he provided Kane with the opener.

Son’s superb strikes mean that – for the first time in the club’s history – they have three players who have scored 20 goals in a season, and took them beyond 75 league goals for the first time since 1984-85.

Harry Kane helped himself to four goals against the Foxes as Spurs turned in an impressive 90-minute display, with their big guns in good form.

Son set up Kane for a 25th-minute opener and made it 2-0 with a first-time shot on the turn in the 36th minute as the visitors dominated the opening half with some crisp passing.

Son took goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel out of the equation before laying the ball off to the England global to fire home. He was substituted for Vincent Janssen with 12 minutes left on the clock.

Kane’s fifth Premier League hat-trick in just over two years took him to 32 goals in all competitions this season, four more than he managed last term and one more than the 31 he bagged in the 2014-15 season.

“We are a bit disappointed not to get a clean sheet for Hugo, who is going for the golden glove but all in all it was a good night”. Son is now ranked 12th, one goal outside of the top 10.

Son will return to his homeland next Tuesday with his teammates Kyle Walker, Kevin Wimmer and Ben Davies for promotional events organized by Tottenham’s main sponsor AIA.

The Tottenham striker moved ahead of Romelu Lukaku in the Premier League scoring charts after bagging four goals against Leicester City – taking his tally to 26 for the season.
