Harry Kane has set another Premier League record after grabbing a brace, along side goals from Doherty and Son Heung-Min to help Tottenham demolish Crystal Palace 4-0 during their game on Wednesday night.
After the first half went scoreless on both ends, Spurs appeared destined to continue their recent decline following the World Cup. But Conte’s team, who had been technically inferior before the break, came out strong in the second.

Harry Kane scored twice at Selhurst Park, the second coming barely five minutes after the first, like he always does. Before scoring his second goal in the game’s 53rd minute, his headed effort had given the visitors the lead.
So far this season, Harry Kane has scored seven goals with his head in the Premier League.
He only needs two more to match Duncan Ferguson’s 1997β98 single-season mark.
Doherty and Son quickly added their names to the scoresheet, taking advantage of Palace’s defensive lapses.
With a masterful performance, Spurs claimed their first victory since the break and condemn Palace to their second loss in as many games.
In the history of the Premier League, only two players have scored 40 or more goals with their weaker foot:
β
Harry Kane
β
Son Heung-min
That iconic duo once again.
Harry Kane demonstrated once more on his 300th Premier League start that he is a world-class goal scorer by scoring two well-taken goals at the start of the second half.
Harry Kane joined Teddy Sheringham as the second Premier League player to score on each of his 100th, 200th, and 300th appearances in the league with his brace.
In the top five divisions in Europe, just two players have 15+ league goals this year:
β
Erling Haaland (21)
? Harry Kane
He’s not giving up on the Golden Boot just yet…
Due to this significant loss and other outcomes in related matches, Palace drops one spot to 12th in the standings, but they are still five points ahead of Leicester in 13th.

With their first victory in three games, Tottenham gives their emergence to the top a new life. Although they remain in fifth place, Spurs are now only two points behind fourth-place Manchester United.
Conte’s team will be put to the final nail in the coffin in their upcoming match against league leaders Arsenal in a North London derby, so if they want to defeat their fiercest rivals, they’ll need to capitalize on everything positive from this second half performance.
