Kane breaks August hoodoo for Tottenham after 1065 minutes

The Spurs striker has finally netted a Premier League goal in the opening month of the season, with his scoring duck broken at the 15th attempt

Harry Kane has recorded his first Premier League goal in the month of August, with the Tottenham striker finding the target at the 15th attempt after a drought of 1065 minutes.

Remarkably, for a man with two Golden Boots to his name, the 25-year-old has been a notoriously slow starter down the years.

A failure to find the target in the opening weeks of any given campaign has been a serious monkey on his back.
