Kane eclipses Rooney and Henry to set Premier League record

Harry Kane's blistering first-half performance for Tottenham against West Ham has seen Premier League records tumble as the England skipper notched up two goals and an assist inside the opening 20 minutes.

The striker was on song for Jose Mourinho's side in the opening exchanges against the Hammers, putting the spectre of an indifferent international break to rest in emphatic form as he had a hand in all three goals for the hosts.

The 27-year-old forward helped Spurs open their account inside a minute with an excellent long ball from inside his own half to find Son Heung-min out wide on the left, with the South Korean star cutting back into the box to curl a low effort past Lukasz Fabianski.
