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.
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.
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.
