Harry Kane has been named March’s Premier League Player of the Month, winning the award for a joint-record seventh time in his career.
The England captain’s award takes him level with former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, the only other man to have won it on seven occasions, and represents his first monthly prize since December 2017.
Tottenham’s talisman scored four goals in March, netting a brace in a 5-0 home thrashing of Everton, as well as getting on the scoresheet in an away win over Brighton and Hove Albion and in Spurs’ 3-2 defeat at Manchester United.
Kane ended the month’s league action by recording two assists for Son Heung-min as Antonio Conte’s side recorded a crucial London derby victory over West Ham, taking him to 17 league goal involvements this season (12 goals and five assists).
His fruitful month also saw him move level with Bobby Charlton’s tally of 49 England goals, just four goals shy of Wayne Rooney’s Three Lions record of 53 strikes, with a penalty against Switzerland during the international break.
After teeing him up twice against the Hammers, Kane has provided 20 Premier League assists for Son in the Premier League, accounting for over half of the forward’s 39 assists in the competition to date.
Only Frank Lampard (who assisted Didier Drogba 24 times) and David Silva (21 assists for Aguero) have teed up one team-mate more often in Premier League history.
The Spurs duo have also linked up for a total of 39 Premier League goals, three clear of the previous record set by Lampard and Drogba, which they surpassed in February’s 4-0 thrashing of Leeds United.
Spurs’ push for Champions League qualification will resume on Sunday when they host Newcastle United, against whom Kane has seven goal involvements (five goals, two assists) in his last four league appearances.
