Harry Kane has set a Premier League record after another impressive display in the thrilling 3-3 draw with West Ham United.
And the Tottenham Hotspur striker was again helped by his partnership with Son Heung-min as he racked up the most goal involvements after the first five Matchweeks of a Premier League season.
Kane scored twice, one from a Son assist, after teeing up the South Korean for the opening goal in a dazzling first 16 minutes at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, before the Hammers fought back in dramatic style.
His total of 12 goal involvements in five matches this campaign is the most by any player at this stage of a Premier League season.
Kane is leading the race for the Playmaker Award with seven assists, while he is two behind Golden Boot race leader Dominic Calvert-Lewin with five goals.
