Another record tumbles for Kane as Tottenham run riot over Everton
Tottenham 4-0 Everton. SAMANTHA MILLER reports from Wembley

HARRY KANE set a new record for Tottenham yesterday, scoring his 98th goal for the club, more than any other Spurs player.

His brace saw him leapfrog Teddy Sheringham and help his side in the battle to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side cruised past the Toffees and Everton boss Sam Allardyce took the blame for the loss, suggesting they should play more “boring” football.

Spurs left back Ben Davies is one of Tottenham’s most improved players after getting regular game time this season, once again slotting in for the injured Danny Rose.

The Welsh international said: “Kane is world-class and when you play against someone like him everyday you’re only going to get better. It’s just about finding out how to stop him sometimes.”

“Teams are struggling to keep Kane quiet in games. It’s not just goals he brings to the table but also his contribution to his teammates, bringing them into the game, combination play and his desire to track back and pick up the ball in deeper areas to drive the team forward.”

Spurs will be hoping they can keep hold of Kane as the England striker draws the attention of other clubs with his impressive form.

It’s easy to forget he was once called a “one-season wonder” and failed to score a single goal in August.

Southampton will look for a way to stop Kane at St Mary’s next weekend, with their previous encounter — at Wembley on Boxing Day — seeing him score a hat-trick.
