Son & Kane equal Drogba & Lampard Premier League record as Spurs striker ends Man City goal drought


The pair now sit alongside Lampard and Drogba as the most productive double act in Premier League history

Son Heung-min and Harry Kane cemented their reputation as one of the Premier League's most successful forward partnerships on Saturday, as Tottenham regained the lead against Manchester City.

Only Chelsea legends Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba can boast such a large number of collaborations in the competition's history.

Kane, who was close to leaving Spurs for City in the summer, also broke his own rotten run of form against the club.

Not since 2016 had the England star netted against the Citizens, having gone nine matches without troubling the scorers in the interim.

Spurs went on to win the match 3-2, with City's dropped points giving the chasing pack hope in the Premier League title race.
