Tottenham Hotspur are not going to make it to the top four of the Premier League table, as they will finish the season with just 62 points. However, they have at least two positive things to talk about during the final day of the competition. One is that they just spoiled the chances of Leicester City to clinch a spot in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Second is the fact that striker Harry Kane scored in that match, effectively becoming the scoring champion of the season.
As if that's not special enough for Kane, his latest Golden Boot title also means that he has just become the third player ever in the history of Premier League to win it at least thrice.
Via OptaJoe:
Harry Kane has won the Premier League Golden Boot for a third season (also 2015-16 & 2016-17), becoming only the third player to win the award as many as three times, after Thierry Henry (4) and Alan Shearer (3). Magic.
Harry Kane entered the Leicester City match with 22 goals on the season, tied with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, but the Tottenham star found the back of the net 41 minutes in the contest to give him the lead — for good.
Just to further underscore his excellence this season, it should also be pointed out that Kane finishes the season with 14 assists, also the best in the Premier League, which is another fantastic feat in itself.
Kane also becomes the 3rd player in PL history to finish as the top scorer & assist-maker in the same season, joining Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (1998-99) & Andy Cole (1993-94).
