Tottenham's Harry Kane, Son Heung-min break Premier League goalscoring record

Kane, Son break Premier League goalscoring record

Tottenham Hotspur duo Harry Kane and Son Heung-min broke a Premier League record during their side's 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday evening.

The Lilywhites finally appear to be heading in the right direction following three successive victories in the Premier League, with Kane and Gareth Bale making the net ripple two times each against the Eagles.

Son and Kane's deadly double act has been a staple of Tottenham's inconsistent season, and with the South Korea captain assisting the England captain for Tottenham's fourth on the night, they etched their name into the Premier League record books.

The prolific attacking duo have now combined for 14 of Tottenham's Premier League goals this season - breaking the previous record set by Chris Sutton and Alan Shearer for Blackburn Rovers (13) in the 1994-95 campaign.

Furthermore, Kane's 40 contributions in 36 games across all competitions is the most of any Premier League player this season, and Spurs became just the second side in Europe's big five leagues - after Bayern Munich - to notch up 100 goals in the 2020-21 campaign.

Jose Mourinho's side are firmly in the mix for a top-four finish as they lie sixth in the table - two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
