Harry Kane Equals Mo Salah’s Record in Tottenham’s Loss to Aston Villa

• Harry Kane scored Tottenham’s only goal in their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa
• The goal helped him equal Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah’s goalscoring record set in the 2017/18 season
• The English striker has scored 27 league goals this season - only bettered by Erling Haaland

Harry Kane moved closer to breaking another Premier League record with his goal for Tottenham in their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa yesterday.

Despite the club's ups and downs, the English striker has matched and set many goalscoring records this season, which has seen them have three managers.

Kane’s goal was merely a consolation - a penalty in the 90th minute as Villa moved level on points with Spurs on the table as the resurgence under Unai Emery continues.

Spurs have two games left in the season as they hope to wrap up a European qualification under the second interim boss this season - Ryan Mason.

Kane equals Salah’s record

Mohamed had two unique records set in the 2017/18 season. He won the golden boot with 32 goals, the most in a 38-game league season and scored in 24 games.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has surpassed the goal tally, having scored 35 goals already in his debut season with few games left to play to extend it.

According to Metro UK, Kane’s goal yesterday meant he scored in 24 games this season and needs one goal in the remaining two games to break it and set a new record.

Despite his goalscoring exploits at North London, he has yet to win a trophy, which has put a stigma on what could have been an extraordinary career.

According to Tribal Football, Manchester United have made him their priority target in the summer as Erik Ten Hag wants to bolster his attacking options with strikers Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst set to depart.
