More records for goal-machine Kane

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes the Premier League single-season scoring record of 34 goals is under threat from Harry Kane after the striker grabbed two more in a 4-0 victory over Everton at Wembley.

Kane made it 10 goals in his last six games in all competitions to become Tottenham鈥檚 record scorer in the Premier League and, after Saturday鈥檚 match, the England forward鈥檚 top-flight tally for the season stands at 20 with 15 league games still to play.

鈥淗arry is fantastic and I congratulate him one more time,鈥 said Pochettino after Kane equalled and then surpassed Teddy Sheringham鈥檚 previous record of 97 Premier League goals for the north London club.

鈥淗e can do anything because of his mentality and how professional he is. He can achieve all that he wants because of his willingness to work. He鈥檚 always thinking and trying to improve and score goals. What is really important to explain to everyone is that although he scores lots of goals, his mentality is always to work for the team and that is what makes him such a special player. In his mind, he always tries to help and play for the team.鈥

The manager was also full of praise for Son Heung-min, who scored Tottenham鈥檚 opening goal, hit the post and set up goals for Kane and Christian Eriksen.
