On Sunday, Harry Kane made history as he became the first Tottenham Hotspur player to score a hat-trick at Fulham since the Premier League began in 1992.
The England captain scored three times in the first half to secure a 3-1 victory, taking his tally to 24 goals in the league this season and putting him one ahead of Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot.
Kane’s hat-trick was a remarkable achievement, and a reminder of his quality and importance to the team. However, the result was not enough to lift Spurs out of their current malaise.
Tottenham have been in poor form in recent weeks, losing three of their last four league games, and Sunday’s victory was only their second in seven matches in all competitions.
The team’s performances have been lacklustre, and manager Mauricio Pochettino has come under increasing pressure as a result. The Argentine has been vocal in his criticism of the club’s transfer policy, and it remains to be seen whether the team can turn things around.
Kane’s heroics at Fulham have given Spurs a much-needed boost, but it may not be enough to save their season. The team is still languishing in eighth place in the table, and they have some tough fixtures coming up.
If Tottenham are to turn things around, they will need to find a way to make the most of Kane’s goalscoring form. The striker’s quality has never been in doubt, but it is up to the team to provide the necessary support to ensure that his goals are not in vain.
For now, Harry Kane has made history, but Tottenham’s poor form continues.
