After a lacklustre campaign in 2019/20 where Tottenham missed out on Champions League football, Spurs have come back with a vengeance early on this term. Jose Mourinho’s side is currently top of the Premier League table ahead current title-holders Liverpool (separated by goal difference). They put forward a classy performance last weekend against Manchester City, downing the former champions 2-0.

As a whole, it’s been a fantastic start to the Premier League season for the Lilywhites, bagging an impressive 21 goals in just nine domestic fixtures, while conceding just nine, a league-best. Their backline has been solid as can be, with summer signing Sergio Reguilon shining at left-back in both ends, while Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld have held it down in front of keeper Hugo Lloris.

But one of the main reasons that Tottenham currently sit in such a prime position is because of their clinical attacking duo of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son. The South Korean has already netted nine times this season, including a four-goal display in just his second appearance of the season back in late September.

Then there’s Kane, who has really proven to be much more than just a prototypical striker who only has an eye for goal. The England international has shown world-class playmaking abilities and vision, providing numerous beautiful passes. He’s already tallied nine assists, while also bagging seven goals of his own.

Between the two, they’ve directly been involved in 18 of Spurs’ 21 domestic goals. Talk about dominant.

Leading the way for Spurs

After losing their season opener to Everton, Tottenham responded in fine fashion on Matchday two, burying Southampton 5-2. Yes, it was a top-notch display, but it was quite literally the Kane and Son show. After conceding the first goal to Saints striker Danny Ings, Mourinho’s squad ran riot on their opponents from that point on.
