Harry Kane’s goalscoring prowess was on full display when he took to the pitch on Saturday as he had a hand in his side’s all three goals.

Tottenham and West Ham took a point each from what was one of the most exciting matches in the Premier League so far this season.

It was Harry Kane who was the standout performer for his side. The striker orchestrated the opening goal before netting an absolute stunner of his own shortly after.

The Englishman then quickly doubled his tally on the night, heading home an exquisite pinpoint cross from Sergio Reguilon.

Kane has now hit five goals in the league while also registering seven assists – becoming the first player in almost a decade to hit double digits in total goal involvements after the opening five matches of a Premier League season.

With Son Heung-min also on the scoresheet, the dynamic duo has now combined for eight goals this season. Should they combine once more, they will match the club record for most successful link-ups, currently held by Teddy Sheringham & Darren Anderton (1992-93, 1994-95) and Sheringham and Chris Armstrong (1995-96).

Jose Mourinho’s men took control of the game shortly after kick-off and remained the more imposing team until late. Within the final 14 minutes, however, the scale tipped to the other side as West Ham scored three goals of their own with the match ending in a 3-3 stalemate.
