Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Tottenham’s 5-2 victory against Southampton?
Here goes Eriksen. Kane! Harry Kane is the name. And 37 goals is the tally. Foul by Eriksen and Son. And Kane, beautiful from Tottenham. Kane, will he get there first? He will! Patrick Harry Kane!
It was written in the stars, wasn't it? Harry Kane with an eighth hat-trick of 2017 and has broken the record today for Premier League goals in a calendar year, which stood for 22 years, 39. Harry Kane's incredible tally. And this is how he's got them. It wasn't quite the perfect hat-trick today. He scored 22 with his right foot from those 39, but two with the left today and one with the head.
Only three penalties. Extraordinary six Premier League hat-tricks out of the 12 we've seen in the Premier League in 2017. He'll like this one. Goals in major European leagues. Harry Kane out in front. He's scored more this season than this year, sorry, than Messi, Ronaldo, Cavani and Lewandowski. Extraordinary feats, all of these, and he's closing in on another record as well.
He's now just one behind Teddy Sheringham as all-time top Spurs Premier League scorer, and he's done it almost half the time. And here he is, the man himself clutching another match ball. Congratulations, Harry. First of all, how much was this record on your mind ahead of the game today?
It was hard not to think about it, of course, going into the game being level. As always, I wanted to win the game first and foremost, but of course I wanted to score as a striker. So to get that goal early on and get that record was a great feeling and I could enjoy the rest of the game.
It's been an extraordinary 12 months for you, Harry, but how do you think you've improved or in what areas do you think you've improved most year on year?
This year I'd say physically, recovery for games, getting ready. We have such a busy schedule, just making sure I'm ready for each game, eating right, recovering right, ice baths. And I feel really good. This period's a very busy period for us and I feel sharp, I feel like my best.

Chapter 2: How did Harry Kane break Alan Shearer's Premier League record?
So, yeah, hopefully I can continue that and just getting more experience should make me a better player anyway.
What would you say, Harry, about the role that your teammates played in this as well today? Ali, Ericsson, Son, who all contributed for you this afternoon.
They're fantastic players. It's a pleasure to play with them. When we're in that form and we've got everyone running forward and quick passes, one-twos, we're a hard team to stop. I said to the lads before the game to try and set me up and they'd all done that. I'll have to take them out for a dinner or something.
They'll be expecting that. Let's have a look at the goals then, Harry. You've got a monitor in there with you.
Chapter 3: What factors contributed to Harry Kane's goal-scoring success in 2017?
The first one seemed to surprise everyone apart from you. Is that a delivery that you've been working on?
Well, I actually wanted to take the free kick. I wanted to have a shot, but Christian was just getting there, and I'll put it on your head. Yeah, unbelievable delivery, and it was an easy header in the end.
Very nice header. Then two with the left foot. The boys were purring about this, and particularly your movement. Talk us through that.
Yeah, I'm just trying to get into pocket, trying to drag defenders out, and you see there, I just make a little run, and then great ball by Dele, and then Sonny almost played it behind me, but no, it was a great ball, and I was happy to finish it off. It's just about getting into the six-yard box, getting into them areas where most of the goals are scored.
And you were just coolness and calmness personified for the third, but how much do you owe here to the weight of the pass from Dele Alli?
Yeah, no, it's a great ball. I just made a run into the space and he's put it on a plate for me. I just had to shrug off the defender before I got the shot off and the keeper's committed himself a bit. So, yeah, I just managed to lift it over him and, yeah, a great feeling. Wonderful finish.
Harry, this is Thierry. Well done. Thank you. Well done, especially doing it at Wembley with a Spurs shirt. But I love that goal. You know why? The way you blocked Yoshida, knowing that the ball is already in front of you, just kind of saying to him, stay there and now I can finish. I love that. And sometimes youngsters don't think so much about that, but the way you protected the ball. Yeah.
No, I agree. I think sometimes in those situations, players try and rush it and at the end of the day, the ball is faster than most players. So, like you said, Dele put a perfect ball in. I just knew if I could just bide my time, the keeper would come in and the chance would be there. Harry, well done, my man.
What a season for you. I've just got to ask you, what's been your favourite goal of 2017? Favourite Premier League goal?

Chapter 4: How did Harry Kane feel about breaking the record during the match?
So even to be compared to them and to be up there with them sort of stats is a great feeling and all I can do is use that as confidence going into the new year.
So how do you strive to get even better, Harry? I'm sure that's what you're thinking about.
Yeah, definitely, just working harder, doing more, doing more training, just finding little percents to try and get better, and that's what it's all about. The Premier League has such fine margins, and anything you can do away from football or on the pitch or on the training field to make you that little bit better is all you can do. So, yeah, I'll be working hard.
Great staff, great manager here who will keep on pushing me, don't worry about that. So, yeah, looking forward to it. Harry, Terry again.
I'm still waiting for that free kick.
Yeah, I stuck one on Romero's head today. He had a good block. So it's coming, it's coming. That's something I want to get better at for sure. So it's something for me to work on. So 2018, hopefully you'll see if you go in.
Congratulations, Harry. Season's greetings as well. And thank you so much for speaking to us. What a fantastic year. Well done, Harry.
Cheers, guys. Thank you. Thank you.
What an incredible achievement.

Chapter 5: What role did Kane's teammates play in his performance?
I just hope that Tottenham understand how lucky they are to have him because he deserves to be up there with the best.
That's true, to be fair, to watch him play and tell strikers what they should be doing or not. But there is one thing that I might bring here. You have to win a title. You have to win a title. You have to win titles. And he's young, don't get me wrong. And he's going in the right direction. He is amazing. Nothing more to say about that.
But Thierry, when he talked about the development that he'd made physically, do you see that in him, the way that his game is growing year by year?
And I'm sure soon the free kicks are going to go in. Soon the assists are going to come. The ball that he gave Son when it should have been a penalty. But I'm talking at one point. Do you think he can achieve that, what he wants at Tottenham? This calibre of player, because I have his name here, you have to go down in history also with trophies, with titles.
He will go down in history with goals. No question about it. But a player like that, of that magnitude, you have to go down in history with titles. If he can do it with Tottenham, so be it. But I mentioned it, I think it was... a year ago. If he doesn't, what next? What's next? What's going to happen next? Do you keep him?

Chapter 6: What were the key moments of Harry Kane's hat-trick?
Do you don't keep him? That guy deserves title.
But all the records are in doubt. You said before about the Alan Shearer 260 goal record if he stays fit. He stays in the Premier League as well. That's the key. Perhaps that's what he's thinking about.
Yeah, I'm sure. It'll be interesting. He's at a vital time in his career and ambition is obviously so important. He's won every trophy there is to win and that's what you want to do as a player. Now, here, look at the players around him and think they are capable. They're very, very close to Tottenham. They are closer than they've ever been to winning titles.
The problem is now they're 18 points behind Man City because of how good they've been this year. And they have dropped off a level. They have definitely dropped off this year. They've picked up the last couple of games, but they shouldn't be that far away with that squad.
It took them a while, didn't it, at Wembley Stadium to feel at home? They've now won six out of seven there. If that improvement continues, do you see them as definite, as shoo-in for the top four?
I think they will be there at the end. At the end, they have too much quality. I don't know how far they're going to go into the Champions League. I think that was a bit of a problem because the depth they have in the squad is not big enough for me in terms of playing in all competitions. They have an amazing starting XI and three, four guys on the bench that can do a job.
They missed Wanyama for me, from a personal point of view. But yeah, the whole Wembley thing and stuff, I don't think that was very relevant at one point. Although as long as you don't go on the run, people are going to mention that.
But to go back to the point that you were saying, we have a guy that's done something that we haven't seen before in the Premier League, and you're still far away from winning the league. I remember Romulan Persin scoring a lot of goals for Arsenal, especially that year where he scored, I forgot how many goals he scored, it was 30, 9 or 40 or whatever it was. Arsenal finished fourth.
That doesn't always assure you to win a title. And that's the point that I'm trying to make. Sometimes it's the pieces around you also that can bring you a title. But to go back to what they're doing, do I think they're going to be in the top four? Yes, I think they're going to be in the top four. Do I think that he's going to score more goals and impress us even more so?

Chapter 7: How do Harry Kane's stats compare to other top players like Messi and Ronaldo?
They had Koeman, Pochettino, and Claude Puel. And I know we're going back to the same story every time, but I thought they had a good manager with Claude Puel. And we're going back, yes, they nearly won the League Cup and they finished eighth. What else do you want? I mean, you had a good manager. I'm not having a go at Pellegrino because he's a good manager. He did a good job with Alaves.
But you had a good manager and you let him go.
Testing times ahead for Southampton. Thierry, thank you very much. Jamie, thank you. The feast of football continues on Boxing Day because right now on Sky Sports Football, you can watch EFL Championship action as Burton take on fifth-place Leeds.
