February 27, (THEWILL) – A new record for the most goals scored by a duo in the Premier League was set on Saturday by the enterprising partnership of Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, who have combined to score 37 goals so far.Â
In Tottenham’s 4-0 triumph over Leeds on Saturday, Kane’s probing through ball was met by Son, who slotted past Illan Meslier to capture the record outright.
Son’s assist for Kane in last week’s win over Manchester City tied them with Chelsea’s Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard for the most Premier League goal combinations with 36.
Sergio Aguero and David Silva of Manchester City, as well as Thierry Henry and Robert Pires of Arsenal, were their closest rivals, partnering on 29 occasions in their respective Premier League careers.
Last season, Kane and Son set a new record for the most goal combinations in a single season, combining 14 times. The England captain went on to win the Premier League Golden Boot as well as the Playmaker Award.
