Son Heung-min and Harry Kane have jointly created, in plays between them, 29 goals in their time at Tottenham, which makes them the second most prolific couple in the history of the Premier League, as reported by EFE. The Kane center that Son finished off and that made it 0-1 in favor of Tottenham against Burnley this Monday was the 29th time that these players met to achieve a tantol. The ninth of this season.
Only the pair of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard at Chelsea, with 36 'targets', is above them.
The South Korean and the Englishman have equaled the mark of the Canarian David Silva and the Argentine Sergio Agüero at Manchester City and the French Robert Pires and Thierry Henry at Arsenal. They have also surpassed Darren Anderton and Teddy Sheringham, who in their years at Tottenham combined for 27 points.
“Sonny and I have a good relationship that I hope will continue in the future,” Kane said. José Mourinho, Spurs coach, pointed out that part of the credit for having united these players goes to Mauricio Pochettino, his predecessor in office.
“The couple of Son and Kane seem instinctively. One knows where the other will be,” said the Portuguese.
“It is an understanding that comes from the time of Mauricio. I do not want to take all the credit, let's share it with Mauricio. They played together for a long time, perhaps in a different way because Harry is not a nine now always,” he added.
