Tottenham striker, Harry Kane, scored his 250th goal for club and country on Sunday as Spurs beat Arsenal 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The England international’s contributions didn’t end with a goal, though, as he also provided the assist for Son Heung-Min’s opener on 13 minutes.
It was Son’s 10th goal of the season — as many as the whole Arsenal squad have managed in the league. Eight of those have been assisted by Kane.
28-year-old Son, and Kane, who is a year younger, have now combined for 31 Premier League goals, the second most of any duo behind former Chelsea players Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard (36).
Spurs fans were back inside their vast stadium for the first time in 277 days and were celebrating after only 13 minutes when Son took Kane’s pass, advancing on the retreating Arsenal defence before curling a magnificent right-foot finish beyond diving Arsenal keeper, Bernd Leno, from 25 yards.
Arsenal dominated possession in the first half but it was Spurs who had the ruthless, clinical edge as they caught the Gunners on the break in stoppage time, Son repaying the compliment by playing in Kane for an unstoppable finish off the underside of the crossbar for his 11th north London derby goal and the 250th of his career for clubs and country.
Mikel Arteta’s side, who lost Thomas Partey to injury right on half-time, showed a little more threat after the break but Spurs closed out the win with relative ease to return to the Premier League summit.
