Insane Kane’s golden boot

– A rampant Harry Kane netted four goals and Son Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham Hotspur thrashed Leicester City 6-1 in an entertaining Premier League clash last night.

Already certain of finishing second behind champions Chelsea, Spurs played as if the title race depended on the outcome, who suffered a first home defeat after five straight wins.

The lively Son set up Kane (above) 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.

Ben Chilwell pulled one back for Leicester after the break but Kane struck three times to go top of the Premier League’s scoring chart with 26 goals, with Son scoring his second after some dazzling footwork created space for a neat low shot from 25 metres.

Although Tottenham were unable to overhaul champions Chelsea in the title race, Mauricio Pochettino’s young side look certain to make a renewed challenge next term and Kane is the figurehead of that bright future.

Kane is hunting the league’s golden boot and the England striker was at his predatory best as he plundered the Leicester defence to move to the top of the scoring charts with 26 goals. Everton’s Romelu Lukaku is second on 24 goals but Kane is well on course to nail down the goalscoring prize heading into Tottenham’s final fixture at Hull on Sunday. – Reuters, AFP
