Kane and Son match Lampard and Drogba as deadliest combination in Premier League history

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have joined a pair of Chelsea greats at the top of the list of the deadliest goalscoring combinations in Premier League history.

Kane finished off a cross from Son to give Tottenham a 2-1 lead during the second half of Saturday’s game at leaders Manchester City.

No two players have combined for more goals in the Premier League era, with Kane and Son matching Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, who set each other up for 36 goals.

The rest of the top five combinations includes Thierry Henry and Robert Pires (29), David Silva and Sergio Aguero (29) and Teddy Sheringham and Darren Anderton (27).

Kane’s goal was his sixth in the Premier League during this campaign and came against the team that were keen to sign him in the close season.

It was his third goal in 12 league appearances against City. For Son, the assist was his fifth this season, more than any other Tottenham player in the English Premier League.

Kane followed up the goal that put Spurs in front for the second time in the game by firing in again in the 73rd minute, but this time his strike was disallowed for offside.
